Bioresorsable Vascular Scaffold (BVS)

Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS) is a non-metallic mesh tube that is used for treating Coronary Artery Disease. Though similar to a stent, Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS) dissolves on its own soon after the blocked artery starts functioning naturally. BVS looks like a small mesh tube but is smaller than a stent and aids in restoring blood flow to the heart. It takes 12 to 24 months for the BVS to dissolve, and till then, it supports and strengthens the artery to stay open.  The advantages of BVS are aplenty. The patient is spared from the concern of living with the permanent stent for the rest of their life, which supports and strengthens the artery and ensures faster recovery.
