ABSORB BIORESORBABLE VASCULAR SCAFFOLD (BVS) BY ABBOTT
A vascular scaffold that restores the vascular structure and leaves no trace
Abbott‘s Absorb Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS) is the first drug-eluting, fully bioresorbable scaffold on the market. Made of polylactide, the device resorbs without inflammation, converting into lactic acid which is then metabolized. The device provides excellent radial strength and minimal acute recoil that is comparable to traditional stents, and during revascularization, it delivers a controlled release of everolimus to minimize scar tissue. As the scaffold resorbs, it allows the blood vessel to resume normal function without the need for a permanent implant.
