Absorb GT1™ Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS) System - P150023

The Absorb GT1 Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (GT1 BVS) System is a fully absorbable stent   mounted on a balloon dilatation catheter.

The GT1 BVS is used in patients who have a narrowing in their coronary arteries caused by coronary artery disease – a condition that occurs when the arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to the heart muscle become narrowed or blocked by a gradual build-up of "plaque."

The absorbable stent is placed into a blood vessel (coronary artery) during angioplasty to help keep the coronary artery open. The drug (everolimus) is released over time into the artery wall around the stent to help prevent the vessel from re-narrowing.The stent dissolves and will be absorbed by the body in approximately three years.
