- Title
Requiem for a Scaffold.
- Authors
Dhruva, Sanket S.; Curtis, Jeptha P.
- Abstract
The authors discuss a study published within the issue about the risks associated with using Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) made by the medical device company Abbott. The authors state that the study was able to provide evidence that BVS has a higher risk of causing scaffold thrombosis as compared with drug-eluting stents. They note that the study failed to influence the debate on BVS, mainly because of the delay in the publication of the research in peer-reviewed journals.
