Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds

Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds are small, tube-like structures used to treat blocked or narrow coronary arteries. Made from materials that gradually dissolve in the body over time, they provide temporary support to keep the artery open, similar to a traditional stent. As the artery heals and regains strength, the scaffold is absorbed, leaving the vessel free of foreign material. This approach reduces long-term complications and restores natural artery flexibility, potentially improving heart health and reducing the need for additional procedures.
