Abstract :
I read the article by Özel et al. (1) entitled “What is better
for predilatation in bioresorbable vascular scaffold implantation:
a noncompliant or a compliant balloon?” recently published in
Anatol J Cardiol 2016; 16: 244-49 with great interest. The authors
demonstrated the effect of balloon predilatation using noncompliant and compliant balloon catheter in the deployment of
bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS). They stated that balloon
dilatation with noncompliant balloon may decrease the need for
balloon postdilatation
Keywords :
