Abstract
Bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) technology provides transient vessel support with drug-delivery capability without the long-term limitations of the permanent metallic drug-eluting stents (DES). Numerous scaffolds have been developed and investigated by device manufacturers, many of which, due to device deficiencies, have fallen by the wayside. This short review will focus on the resorbable magnesium scaffold Magmaris® the only metallic bioresorbable scaffold currently available, providing an evaluation of the most up to date clinical data whilst also briefly highlighting learning points regarding the ideal patient and lesion choice and optimal implantation technique.
