Why BRS in STEMI?
► Young
patient: benefit from long term freedom
from permanent stent caging.
► Vasomotion
recovery.
► Favourable
long term remodelling.
► Potential
plaque sealing.

Potential Risks of BRS implants in STEMI
► Thrombogenic
► Large
milieu promotes Stent Thrombosis
profile device promotes abnormal sheer stress->
ST
► Potential
for acute malapposition due to thrombus
resorption.
► Scaffold
underexpansion due to undersizing with
vasoconstricted vessel.
