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.
