Everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold implantation for the treatment of bifurcation lesions — Implications from early clinical experience during daily practice
The clinical performance of bioresrobable scaffolds (BRSs) in bifurcation lesion is not well investigated so far and information can currently mostly be gleaned from the results of bench testing. The present analysis evaluates the technical feasibility of BRS use in this type of lesion and its mid-term clinical outcome. (Source: Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine)

Objectifying the Level of Incomplete Revascularization by the Residual SYNTAX Score and Evaluating Its Impact on the One-Year Outcome of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients with Multi-Vessel Disease
Previous studies reported conflicting results regarding the impact of incomplete revascularization on the outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We evaluated the association between residual SYNTAX score (RSS) as a quantitative measure of incomplete revascularization and one-year outcome of patients with native multi-vessel disease undergoing PCI.
