Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has long been recognized as a cause of
acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Initially considered very rare and associated primarily with …

Background Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds were developed to overcome the
shortcomings of drug-eluting stents in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We …

Abstract Background: The Absorb everolimus-eluting poly-L-lactic acid–based
bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) provides early drug delivery and mechanical support …

Fully bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) were designed to overcome the limitations of metallic
drug-eluting stents, which permanently cage the vessel wall, thereby preventing normal …

Stent thrombosis (ST) is a rare but severe complication of coronary procedures with high
mortality, high relapse rate and a very complex pathophysiology. An individual's …

Background Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) offer the potential to improve long-term
outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention after their complete bioresorption …

Tissue Engineering (TE) is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses materials science in
