Orsiro: ultrathin bioabsorbable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent.

Recent stent developments aimed to reduce and eliminate the long-term inflammatory response include thinner struts, modifications to stent design and the development of bioresorbable polymers (BP). We aimed to summarize the main findings and to discuss the established and the potential benefits of the Orsiro BP sirolimus-eluting stents in everyday clinical use. We have reviewed the available evidence on the clinical performance of the Orsiro BP drug-eluting stents. Orsiro BP sirolimus-eluting stents is clinically proven and showed noninferiority against major drug-eluting stents and provides high safety and efficacy profile at long-term follow-up. Furthermore, it may be the preferred treatment option in specific subgroups as acute coronary syndrome, as shown in the BIOFLOW V trial.
