Dear colleagues,
In the last year the fully Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS) has been
challenged for the first time in daily clinical practice. Earlier the BVS has been
studied in a well-controlled environment providing us with a good safety
profile. The initial experience in a more complex setting has provided early
adoptors with an experience which should be shared with colleagues who
are also entering this new era, which is referred to as the 4th Revolution in
Interventional Cardiology.
For this purpose the two interventional cardiology hospitals in Rotterdam, the
city where BVS started its expansion around the world, have joined forces to
organize a dedicated BVS course. Our purpose is to offer a practical casebased course on Percutaneous Coronary Interventions with Bioresorbable
Scaffolds for interventional cardiologists who want to shift their practice and
use BVS in a broad selection of patients. For this purpose we have invited
a very experienced international faculty to provide you with their insights,
outcomes, and tips and tricks to improve your skills with this device in
complex settings.
We hope to see you in the Netherlands in April of 2014.

Advanced and Practical Case-based Course on Percutaneous Coronary Interventions with Bioresorbable Scaffolds
Objectives
-- To understand the design principles of bioresorbable scaffolds and the impact
on implantation technique
-- To learn the optimal bioresorbable scaffold implantation techniques
-- To learn the latest clinical outcomes of BVS studies
-- To learn practical tips and tricks from experienced operators
-- Understand the best techniques for various types of lesions
After attending this course, you will:
-- Have an in-depth understanding of the difference between metallic stents and
polymeric scaffolds
-- Understand why the implantation techniques are different
-- Be able to reduce suboptimal outcomes
-- Be able to address the more complex cases with confidence
