Bioresorbable stents: quo vantis?
The bioresorbable scaffolds have been introduced recently in an effort to eliminated metals from the coronary arteries, to maintain vessel pulsatility and to diminish late and especially very late stent thrombosis.

“The unpredictable ABSORB” – very late stent thrombosis of bioresorbable vascular scaffold
Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds represent the next revolution in stent technology. They serve the dual purpose of antiproliferative drug delivery to vascular lumen like a drug-eluting stents (DES) as well as phased strut resorption over time leading to ...

Diabetes-induced iron stent degradation but preventing re-endothelialization after implantation
Diabetes mellitus is common among patients undergoing stent implantation therapy. Although bioresorbable iron stents have good biocompatibility and mechanical performance, most supporting evidence has been obtained from studies conducted under ...

Zn-alloy provides a novel platform for mechanically stable bioresorbable vascular stents.
Metallic Zn alloys have recently gained interest as potential candidates for developing platforms of bioresorbable vascular stents (BVS). Previous studies revealed that Mg alloys used for BVS can degrade too early, whereas PLLA materials may fail to ...

Bioresorbable drug eluting scaffolds—are bioresorbable stents ready for today’s clinical practice? [PDF]
During the course of stent development, a novel concept has recently been introduced, which is based on transient scaffolding of the coronary artery with the help of fully bioresorbable stents eventually allowing vascular restoration over time. Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds represent a landmark innovation and are designed to fully disappear from the
