PY - 2017 T2 - Interventional Cardiology, 2e AB - Despite innovations in stent design, including reduction in strut thickness, novel antiproliferative agents, and more recently, the development of bioresorbable polymers, permanent metallic stents remain a nidus for sustained vascular inflammation, in-stent neoatherosclerosis, and impaired coronary vasomotor function. Therefore, the concept of a drug-eluting bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) with properties of medium-term temporary vascular scaffolding and long-term vascular reparative properties is appealing.
