Back in 2009, when Abbott announced the <a title=\"Abbott Moves Forward with Bioabsorbable Stent\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ptca.org\/news\/2009\/0324_ABSORB.html\" target=\"_blank\">two-year results<\/a> of the first 30 patients to have received this novel device, they still called it a &#8220;stent.&#8221; At that time I wrote a blog post, titled &#8220;<a title=\"Is The Scaffolding Coming Down?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ptca.org\/voice\/archives\/2009_0324.html\" target=\"_blank\">Is The Scaffolding Coming Down?<\/a>&#8221; and I used the metaphor of the scaffolding on a construction site, how it went up to serve a purpose and, when that purpose had been fulfilled, how it was removed: just like the Absorb stent. I even used this photo to emphasize my ingenious comparison.<\/p>\n<p>So not long after that, Abbott started calling their product a &#8220;scaffold&#8221; not a &#8220;stent&#8221;.
