Core Tip	Bioresorbable scaffolds aim to provide temporary coronary support with drug delivery while ultimately restoring a device-free artery. In acute coronary syndrome, evidence remains cautious: First-generation polymeric scaffolds showed increased thrombosis during the resorption phase, and newer platforms require rigorous implantation discipline. The study by Li et al discussed here used the NeoVas sirolimus-eluting poly-L-lactic acid scaffold and reported comparable mid-term outcomes to drug-eluting stents, with reduced inflammatory biomarkers at 1 month. These signals are hypothesis-generating; definitive adoption requires randomized trials with imaging and long-term follow-up.
