Brief Summary:
To evaluate the safety of a new bioresorbable (non-permanent) stent platform in native coronary arteries.
Detailed Description:
Today, coronary artery disease is often treated by placing a metal stent inside the vessel that serves as a permanent scaffold. However, it is hypothesized that the stent is no longer needed once the artery has healed. This study will evaluate the safety of a bioresorbable (non-permanent) stent for the treatment of coronary artery disease. The stent is designed to restore blood flow to the artery which allows the artery to remodel (heal), and then resorb from the body. The stent supports the vessel during the critical 90-day healing process, and then gradually resorbs and is cleared from the body.
