CONCLUSION
- The use of BVS is currently restricted to selected cases
- Currently, there are no data on BVS use on LM
- This preliminary small experience shows the feasibility of BVS implantation, with no safety issues at mid-term
- Further data are needed to access safety and efficiency of BVS for LM
- Is LM-BVS PCI a real need?
