To the Editor,We appreciate the valuable comments and critique of our colleague in response to our article entitled “What is better for predilatation in bioresorbable vascular scaffold implantation: a non-compliant or a compliant balloon?” published in the April 2016 issue of the Anatolian Journal of Cardiology (1). We have some contributions to offer.Bioresorbable stent (BRS) is novel technology that is still being refined, and technical aspects of implantation have evolved over the last several years. In our retrospective study we analyzed patients who had received BRS treatment between January 2013 and November 2013. Now, in 2016, we completely agree that proper postdilatation is mandatory when implanting BRS. In 2013, however, importance of postdilatation was not very clear and postdilatation rate was 40% to 50% in large registries (2, 3). Our postdilatation rate was similar to that of previous studies. Avoiding BRS fracture was a factor that contributed to lower rate of postdilatation in BRS procedures. Smaller minimum lesion diameter after BRS implantation was another aspect that led to higher rate of postdilatation in compliant balloon group in our study. Consistent with numerous data in recent literature, we currently advise routine postdilatation with non-compliant balloon after BRS implantation.We agree with the remarks of our colleague about use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and especially optical cohe- rence tomography (OCT) to assess scaffold apposition. Lack of use of intravascular imaging studies is a disadvantage of our study, but we have to also recall that rate of IVUS and OCT use is very low in real world practice (2) and majority of implantations were made under fluoroscopic guidance. Reimbursement difficulty in our country is another factor that limits routine use of OCT. Routine use of intravascular imaging studies will increase full apposition rate of BRS procedures.In conclusion, using IVUS or OCT to check apposition of BRS after implantation and routine postdilatation with non-compliant balloon after BRS implantation are very important technical steps in BRS procedure.
