How to accelerate strut encapsulation in vessel wall and avoid the transient consequence of discontinuity???
- Reducing the protrusion of the strut (stronger and thinner strut) -done-
- Better embedment of the struts -done-
- Changing the quadratic shape of the strut into a circular one -done-
- Faster Bioresorption without inducing an inflammatory vasculitis -major dilemma-… will result in fast tissue coverage and firm encapsulation of the struts into the vessel wall.
