Vessel Restoration Therapy during Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Bioresorbable Scaffold

Abstract

Permanent caging of the vessel with metal is still perceived as a limitation of drug eluting stents in that it prevents late luminal enlargement adaptive shear stress and late expansive remodeling Transient bioresorbable scaffolding prevents vessel acute closure and recoil drug elution counteracts neointimal proliferation and complete bioresorption after two to four years together with vessel lumen enlargement plaque media reduction and vasomotion restoration finally realises the paradigm of vascular restoration therapy
