Popis: Objectives With this prospective study we aim at investigating the long-term outcome of a consecutive cohort of patients successfully treated with bioresorbable scaffold (BVS) implantation. Background It is not clearly understood if there is a relation between the technique of BVS implantation and the outcome. Methods Between December 2012 and December 2014, all consecutive patients treated with BVS were included in this registry and received an angiographic follow-up. After a run-in phase, all BVS were implanted using a specific technique consisting of aggressive predilation, correct scaffold sizing, visually determined, and high-pressure post-dilation with a noncompliance balloon. Primary endpoint was late lumen loss (LLL) at 1-year angiographic follow-up and ischemia-driven target-lesion revascularization (ID-TLR) at 2-year clinical follow-up. Secondary endpoints were the occurrence of binary restenosis, major adverse cardiac events (MACE), and every single component of MACE (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, TLR) at 2 years. Results A total of 144 lesions in 122 patients treated consecutively with BVS, were enrolled. Diabetics were 29.5% and acute coronary syndrome at presentation occurred in 29.5% of patients. At the angiographic follow-up LLL was 0.38 ± 0.9. At 2-year clinical follow-up, ID-TLR occurred in eight patients (5.6%). We observed two cases of scaffold thrombosis (1.38%, one early and one very late). At multivariate statistical analysis, STEMI presentation remained a significant predictor for TLR. Conclusions In a complex, all-comers real world population, BVS implantation with a specific, and standardized technique showed to be feasible, with acceptable mid-term angiographic and long-term clinical outcome.
