Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold During ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review.

The bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) represents a novel technology designed to overcome the long-term limitations of metallic coronary stent implantation in percutaneous coronary intervention. In this context, primary percutaneous coronary intervention in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) could be a preferred scenario for BVS implantation. Nevertheless, data on efficacy and safety are lacking in this specific subset of patients.
