Core Tip

Core Tip: Coronary revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention primarily involves using balloon angioplasty and intracoronary stenting with either drug-eluting stents or bare metal stents. Other methods of improving coronary blood flow include atherectomy and radiation. Resorbable metallic scaffolds have been developed to reduce adverse events after permanent metallic stent placement, such as restenosis or stent thrombosis. These adverse events have been attributed to persistent inflammation, impaired vasomotion, ongoing tissue growth within the stent frame, and neoatherosclerosis. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is rare. Reverse dissection of post-magnesium-based resorbable scaffold stenting is even rarer.
