Coronary stenting has become an integral part of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures, providing structural support to the treated vessel and preventing acute recoil, restenosis, and late negative remodelling occurring after simple balloon dilation. The introduction of scaffold bioabsorbable device (BRS), able to provide temporary structural support to a vessel, while eluting an antiproliferative drug, and be reabsorbed in a time-predictable fashion, represent the latest technological innovation in percutaneous intervention. 1 The rational and the potential advantages for the use of BRS during PCI are numerous and mostly self-evident.Of particular interest is the possibility of re-establishing normal morphology and physiology (motility, vessel geometry, and shear stress) of the vessel once the reabsorption is complete, allowing to limit the antiplatelet treatment in the long term, which is necessary to avert stent thrombosis. 2 Form a technical-procedural stand-point, the reabsorption of the BRS could offer advantages in complex anatomical situations such as bifurcation stenting, or PCI in ostial regions in which could reduce the overhanging of the
