BVS Survey 2014

This is the PPTX presentation of the BVS survey 2014, as presented at the BVS Advisory Board of Abbott in March 2015. This is a spontaneous survey dedicated to BVS Expert Users, and I shared this research with M. Valgimigli, Bern.

It is of some interest to see how Experts felt this technology by mid-2014, and a publication in the International Journal of Cardiology followed. Another Survey was depicted in 2015 and we are currently analyzing its results.

I am thus wishing you all a happy New Year!!

the role of BVS in 2015

The most widely used Biovascular Scaffold worldwide, namely Absorb, Abbott, is a real revolution in interventional cardiology. A lot of things changed after BVS became available, however we learned that, most importantly, the approach to PCI did change as well: like for DCB-PCI, it is not just like to implant a stent here!

This is the presentation I made at Stresa, a national meeting organized by AS Bongo, Novara Hospital, in May 2015.
