Potential benefits: § Restoration of natural physiologic vasomotor function in some patients § Enable vascular remodeling and tissue adaptation § Elimination of chronic sources of vessel irritation and sources for chronic inflammation § Possibly avoid current challenges with leaving a metal implant behind § Potentially reduce the need for prolonged DAPT § No permanent implant to complicate future interventions and re-­interventions, particularly in younger patients § Non-­invasive imaging with MSCT or MRA without ‘blooming artifact’ *Serruys PW, et al., Circulation 1988;; 77: 361.
