Summary

Overlapping bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) may reduce long-term risks compared to permanent ones. The GHOST-EU registry found similar short-term risks, but longer studies are needed to confirm BRS safety.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular medicine
  • Medical devices
  • Interventional cardiology

Background:

  • Permanent scaffolds carry risks like neoatherosclerosis and late malapposition.
  • Bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) offer a potential alternative to mitigate these long-term risks.

Discussion:

  • The GHOST-EU registry evaluated short- and mid-term outcomes of overlapping BRS.
  • Findings suggest comparable safety profiles between overlapping and non-overlapping BRS in the short-to-mid term.

Key Insights:

  • Overlapping bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) show promise for reducing long-term risks associated with permanent scaffolds.
  • The GHOST-EU registry indicates similar short- and mid-term safety for overlapping BRS compared to non-overlapping configurations.

Outlook:

  • Larger clinical trials with extended follow-up are essential.
  • Confirming the long-term safety and efficacy of overlapping BRS is crucial for clinical adoption.
