Popis: Background: Research on the resorbable magnesium scaffolds (RMSs) has shown their safety and effectiveness in stable clinical conditions. It seems that this new therapeutic option could be promising for selected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. Aims: Our analysis aims to analyse the long-term performance of RMSs among ACS patients. Methods: The study population consisted of consecutive ACS patients treated with the implantation of at least one RMS. The Magmaris ACS Registry was designed as a single-arm observational registry in the 'real-world' treatment practice setting. Results: The study population consisted of 193 patients, predominantly male (78%), at a mean (SD) age of 64 (9) years and with the typical risk factors of ACS. Unstable angina (UA) was the indication for revascularisation in 32.1%, non-ST-segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in 65.8% and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) only in 2.1%. During the mean 24 months of follow-up, ten cases (5.2%) of target lesion failure (TLF) were diagnosed, of which five cases (2.6%) were clinically driven target lesion failure (CD-TLR), four cases (2.1%) of asymptomatic scaffold restenosis and one case (0.5%) of target vessel myocardial infarction (TV-MI). No cardiac deaths and 2 non-cardiac deaths (2.2%, both fatal strokes) were observed. No cases of scaffold thrombosis were observed during the median 24-month follow-up. Conclusions: The use of the RMSs in selected ACS patients is associated with procedural safety and promising early and long-term clinical efficacy and safety outcomes. Proper lesion selection is key to the long-term success of bioresorbable technology in this patient population
