YOUR CAST COMES OFF WHEN YOU'RE HEALED. WHY NOT YOUR HEART 2001-Metal Stent Today-Completely Dissolving Stent! The Absorb™ heart stent works like other drug-eluting stents by opening a clogged vessel and restoring blood flow to the heart. But unlike a permanent metallic implant, the Absorb BVS then dissolves into the blood vessel, leaving behind a treated vessel that may resume more natural function and movement because it is free of a metallic implant. Safer and healthier. PinnacleHealth is one of only 10 hospitals in the nation with Absorb available, and it was the first in Pennsylvania to place Absorb after FDA approval. At the heart of your good health. pinnaclehealth.org/hearthttp://www.pinnaclehealth.org/heart
