Clinical outcomes of two scaffold strategies using BVS for bifurcation lesions
Author: Azeem Latib MD, MO-GVM Centro Cuore Columbus and San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy
KEY MESSAGES
- BVS implanted with an optimal technique in bifurcations is associated with acceptable outcomes at 1-year
- No early or mid-term signal of harm from double scaffold strategies
- However, a hybrid strategy may be associated with less TLR as compared to a double scaffold strategy
- Currently completing follow-up to have longer- term clinical data for this cohort
