Abstract Biodegradable stents which can avoid risks caused by incompatibility between artery and permanent stents are attracting much interests. However, biodegradable stents have not been extensively applied in clinical therapy because of their insufficient scaffold performance as a result of poor Young’s Modulus of biodegradable materials and weaken structures in degradation process. In this study, a patented stent and a common stent were simulated to degrade in a 40% stenotic vesel based on a corrosion model involving uniform corrosion and stress corrosion. In the degradation process, the scaffold performance of the two stents and their functionality on reshaping diseased vessels are… More >
