Bioabsorbable Coronary Stents

Abstract

P ercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with bioabsorb-able stents has created interest because the need for mechanical support for the healing artery is temporary, and beyond the first few months there are potential disadvantages of a permanent metallic prosthesis.Stents improve immediate outcomes, including profoundly reducing acute vessel occlusion after PCI by scaffolding intimal tissue flaps that have separated from deeper layers and by optimizing vessel caliber.They limit restenosis by preventing negative remodeling. 1 The intimal hyperplastic healing response to PCI that contributes to restenosis, especially after bare metal stenting, can be limited by coating stents with antiproliferative medications.2,3 Potential advantages of having the stent disappear from the treated site include reduced or abolished late stent thrombosis, improved lesion imaging with computed tomography or magnetic resonance, facilitation of repeat treatments (surgical or percutaneous) to the same site, restoration of vasomotion, and freedom from side-branch obstruction by struts and from strut fracture-induced restenosis.Bioabsorbable stents have a potential pediatric role because they allow vessel growth and do not need eventual surgical removal. 2 The progression of stenosis seen within stents 7 to 10 years after stenting has been attributed, at least in part, to inflammation around metallic struts, which might argue for an absorbable stent.3 Progression is also observed late after balloon angioplasty.4 Some patients say they prefer an effective temporary implant rather than a permanent prosthesis.Although the concept of bioabsorbable stents has created interest for Ͼ20 years, there are challenges in making a stent that has sufficient radial strength for an appropriate duration, that does not have unduly thick struts, that can be a drug delivery vehicle, and where degradation does not generate an unacceptable inflammatory response.5,6 We will review the different bioabsorbable stents that have been studied clinically and discuss the duration of the need for mechanical support and the potential amelioration of late stent thrombosis risk.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
