Core Tip	This study aimed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) compared to drug-eluting stents (DES) in patients with intermediate to low-risk acute coronary syndrome. A total of 128 patients were included in the study, with 87 receiving BRS and 114 receiving DES. The patients were followed up for a maximum of 3 years to assess the occurrence of cardiac events and complications. The results showed that the time to reach the composite endpoint of cardiac events was earlier in the BRS group compared to the DES group, although the final number did not differ significantly. BRS demonstrated better compatibility than DES. These findings suggest that BRS may be a viable alternative to DES in patients with intermediate to low-risk acute coronary syndrome, but further research is needed to address the observed complications.
