A new resorbable magnesium scaffold for de novo coronary lesions (DREAMS 3): one-year results of the BIOMAG-I first-in-human study

The third-generation coronary sirolimus-eluting magnesium scaffold, DREAMS 3G, is a further development of the DREAMS 2G (commercial name Magmaris), aiming to provide performance outcomes similar to drug-eluting stents (DES).The BIOMAG-I study aims to assess the safety and performance of this new-generation scaffold.This is a prospective, multicentre, first-in-human study with clinical and imaging follow-up scheduled at 6 and 12 months. The clinical follow-up will continue for 5 years.A total of 116 patients with 117 lesions were enrolled. At 12 months, after completion of resorption, in-scaffold late lumen loss was 0.24±0.36 mm (median 0.19, interquartile range 0.06-0.36). The minimum lumen area was 4.95±2.24 mm² by intravascular ultrasound and 4.68±2.32 mm² by optical coherence tomography. Three target lesion failures were reported (2.6%, 95% confidence interval: 0.9-7.9), all clinically driven target lesion revascularisations. Cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction and definite or probable scaffold thrombosis were absent.Data at the end of the resorption period of DREAMS 3G showed that the third-generation bioresorbable magnesium scaffold is clinically safe and effective, making it a possible alternative to DES.gov: NCT04157153.
