Conclusion
BVS have the potential of revolutionising the percutaneous treatment of CAD as their greater biocompatibility and eventual resorption offer the possibility of further improving clinical outcomes whilst maintaining the future option of further revascularisation if necessary. In our experience, BVS can be used in a wide-range of lesions with good procedural and early outcome results. Patients that may especially benefit from this technology include those with multivessel disease, diffusely diseased vessels, bifurcation lesions and those of younger age. They should, however, be avoided in patients with too large (>4.0 mm) or too small (<2.5 mm) vessels for currently available devices. They should also be used with caution in patients with STEMI and in those that may require shorter DAPT durations until further evidence becomes available.
