Summary
This study tested a special stent made of magnesium that slowly dissolves over time. It was designed to treat blocked arteries in the heart, specifically at branch points. Twenty patients with stable chest pain or silent heart disease received the stent. Researchers checked if the stent was safe and worked well by looking at heart attacks, stent failures, and detailed images of the artery walls.
