Lorenzo Azzalini , MD, PhD, MSc;

Phillipe L. L'Allier , MD;

Experience with bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVSs) outside clinical trials is scarce, and data from “real-world” use are needed. In particular, there are few data on scaffold thrombosis (ST); we report our experience with ST in our...
