With the goal of creating a development in heart disease treatment. The stent is made up of a biodegradable polymer that once inside the artery would slowly be absorbed by the body. While keeping its strong struts fully intact.

Such as plaque build up in the artery blocking blood flood, as well as causing blood clots to attach to the wiring. (Ron Waksman, May 14/2012)]]> 2018-04-10 17:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/coleson_hawke/btduz8a8e7k1/wish/250407804 coleson_hawke https://padlet.com/coleson_hawke/btduz8a8e7k1/wish/250410107 This is a blocked artery that has had a stent installed]]> 2018-04-10 17:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/coleson_hawke/btduz8a8e7k1/wish/250410107 coleson_hawke https://padlet.com/coleson_hawke/btduz8a8e7k1/wish/250411002 When using the disappearing stent in trials. The stent was almost completely absorbed by the body within 2 years time. With no negative side effects as the metal stent. No re-narrowing of the artery or cardiac death from the product.

So with such a big development and a great idea, doctors had a hard time getting behind the idea. They would rather stick the product they have been using for years. With knowing the risks because they have learned to combat them.]]> 2018-04-10 18:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/coleson_hawke/btduz8a8e7k1/wish/250442870 coleson_hawke https://padlet.com/coleson_hawke/btduz8a8e7k1/wish/250446194 This negative set back hit the company very hard. Loss in sales and backers behind the project, they were forced to disband manufacturing the product. But the research would continue.

About metal stents that now were absorbable.

The only down side is the failure rate is slightly higher than the metal stent. Which could turn some away from the idea entirely. But from this point people shouldn't dismiss the idea. Because the disappearing stent could some day with more research and trials.
