title: Early Multiple Coronary Micro Aneurysms After Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Implantation.
abstract: Bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) is a novel technology designed to overcome the long-term limitations of permanent metallic stent implantation in percutaneous coronary intervention. However, little is known about the development of coronary aneurysms after the use of BVSs, and additional experience is needed to establish the entire spectrum of complications related to the use of these emerging materials. We hereby report an unusual case of early multiple coronary artery micro aneurysms formation after BVS implantation.
