Preclinical investigation of neoatherosclerosis in magnesium-based bioresorbable scaffolds versus thick-strut drug-eluting stents.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest reduced neoatherosclerosis formation in magnesium-based BRS relative to DES. High dose statin treatment may be a promising measure to reduce neoatherosclerosis progression, both on its own and in synergy with site-targeted device-based treatment.
