Abstract: The novel vascular solution, the bioresorbable scaffold, has already been called Vascular Regeneration Therapy
(VRT), providing a new quality in interventional cardiology. This new generation of stents gives a potential advantage
over the permanent metal prosthesis, mainly restoration of vasomotion after full biodegradation. In the article we summarize
the latest achievements in stent technologies allowing complete regeneration of arterial wall functions after implantation
of biodegradable scaffold.
