Transcatheter aortic heart valve surgery uses a small, collapsible heart valve, packaged within a balloon-expandable stent, similar to what is used routinely to open and reinforce coronary blood vessels.

Moreover, the medication Paclitaxel, which coats the stent, inhibits any negative effects on the coronary blood vessels that may result from the minimally-invasive procedure.

Trends were observed in data from tests of artery movement and function, demonstrating a potential restoration of unstented artery movement to coronary blood vessels after the stent was absorbed -- something that is not possible with permanent metal-based stent implants.
