Serruys (chairman PIONEER trial) during the session ‘innovative stents and scaffolds: potential new technologies for your cathlab’. Novelties and clinical superiority of BuMA Supreme™ were highlighted throughout the presentation. This session, co-chaired by C.K Naber and R. Gao, mainly focused on exchanging innovative technologies in the Asia-pacific region and topics on the indications of these novel stents and scaffolds.
On 20th May, Yoshinobu Onuma from Erasmus Medical Centre, Rotterdam (steering committee member, PIONEER trial) presented the PIONEER trial in the session ‘planned and ongoing clinical trials: a status updated from Cardialysis and ECRI’.
