The arteries supplying blood to the heart are opened through angioplasty when they become narrow or blocked.  A medicated stent or scaffold is then inserted into the diseased artery.  It releases medicines to prevent the diseased artery from becoming narrow or blocked again and keeps that artery open.  Every year more than 75,000 people undergo angioplasty and stent insertion in India.  

But the problem with conventional stents is that they are made of metals that stay in the patient's body for life.  Metal stents hinder the ability of the artery to expand.  A 'Bio-absorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS)' has been developed for this problem, which works like a stent, but it dissolves once the narrow blood vessels are opened and these tubes can work as normal before.  

Looks like In place of traditional metal stents, a 'Bio-absorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS)' has now been developed which works like a stent, but after the narrowed blood it dissolves and these ducts start functioning as before.

Better effect on patients: -

 'Bio-absorbable vascular scaffold' known as 'Abjarv' has now started being used in many hospitals in the country.  Treatment with BVS means that there will be no permanent implant in the artery and the blood vessel will function in a more natural and natural way.  

Not only this, patients do not have the fear that such an implant will be installed in their body and will remain in their body for life.  He will be able to do everyday activities smoothly.  Due to this modern stent, there is a better long-term effect on his health and the risk of developing coronary artery disease symptoms in the future is reduced.

What are its benefits: - 

Dr. of Jaipur Heart Institute.  GL Sharma explains that there are benefits to having an 'observable' stent.  It does no harm.  This allows the doctor to use a non-invasive technique to see how the blood vessel that has been treated is working in the future.  

Also, in the future, if the patient needs another CAD procedure, the doctor will have the freedom to choose a better treatment option because the patient's artery is already free of any permanent implants.  The trend of people is now moving towards adopting this technology.
 

How this stent works:- 

In fact, the way the broken arm is supported by plaster and it is removed when the hand is healed, in the same way, the BVS called 'Observ' supports the artery and keeps it open till then  Till then he needs to do so.  

Interventional Cardiologist at Fortis Escorts Hospital, Jaipur, Dr.  Sanjib Rai explains that first, an 'observer' is introduced into the artery to open and support it.  He releases the medicine to treat the affected area and stop the growth of tissue that narrows the artery.  Once the artery is no longer in need of support, the scaffold begins to dissolve on its own.
