JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 9, No 8 (August 28, 2017): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2017 KW - N2 - Bioresorbable scaffolds are percutaneous coronary prostheses designed to ensure transient support of the dilated vessel and dissolution into inert breakdown products overtime (1). By leaving the coronary artery without a permanent metallic implant, bioresorbable scaffolds have been developed to absolve three main commitments: improve long-term vessel healing and remodelling, restore vasomotor function of the treated segment, and reduce the burden of angina symptoms in comparison with conventional drug-eluting stent (DES) platforms.
