This narrative review summarizes the basic concepts, preclinical data, and clinical applications of the second-generation magnesium-alloy bioresorbable scaffold (Magmaris) for coronary artery disease.
This narrative review summarizes the state of the art, including preclinical and clinical data, for the second-generation magnesium-alloy bioresorbable scaffold (Magmaris) in percutaneous coronary revascularization.
Since its introduction to clinical practice, coronary artery stent implantation has become a crucial part of the therapy of coronary artery disease (CAD). Despite the undeniable evolution of percutaneous coronary revascularization procedures, drug-eluting stent (DES) technology shows some limitations. To overcome these limitations bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BRS) were designed as a vessel-supporting technology allowing for anatomical and functional restoration of the vessel after the scaffold intended resorption. Various materials have been proposed as the basis of the scaffold backbone. In this narrative review, we present second-generation magnesium-alloy bioresorbable scaffold devices (Magmaris; Biotronik). Additionally, we discuss available preclinical and clinical data regarding this new magnesium BRS.
Rola et al. (Thu,) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease (CAD). Magmaris (second-generation magnesium-alloy bioresorbable scaffold) was evaluated. This narrative review summarizes the basic concepts, preclinical data, and clinical applications of the second-generation magnesium-alloy bioresorbable scaffold (Magmaris) for coronary artery disease.
