BRS in STEMI: Rationale and Technique Differences Compared to Stable Lesions

BVS CRT 17

Conclusion

• BVS is theoretically a good tool for PPCI (pts and lesions subsets, mechanical proprts)
• Evidence still limited
• Good implantation techniques is important, as for stable lesions
• BVS STEMI STRATEGY-IT study
• Mandatory head-to-head comparison BRS (implanted following optimal technique) vs. “best in class” DES

This time the guest faculty was Dr Fernando Alfonso, head of Cardiology at Hospital La Princesa in Madrid, and one of the leading cardiologists in Europe. He is also an expert in DCB.

During his speech he gave his personal point of view on the failure of Sequent Please compared to EES for the treatment of DES restenosis, describing in depth the results of the RIBS IV study. He alo commented on the positive results of RIBS V, DCB vs EES in BMS restenosis.

We also had a wonderful time together at night!
