Introduction

In percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the concept of securing metal free angioplasty without leaving behind a permanent foreign body is highly attractive to patients and physicians and promises several advantages. However, target lesion failure and device thrombosis were important concerns with first-generation Bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) leading to low rates of adoption in clinical practice (1-12). New iterations, incorporating improvements such as a smaller strut thickness have been proposed and evaluated in early investigations. However, it remains unclear whether these modifications are sufficient to achieve outcomes comparable to those of metallic drug-eluting stents (DES) while preserving the benefits of resorption (10-12).
