Multi-objective optimisation of material properties and strut geometry for poly(L-lactic acid) coronary stents using response surface methodology
2019-06-11
Abstract excerpt
Coronary stents for treating atherosclerosis are traditionally manufactured from metallic alloys. However, metal stents permanently reside in the body and may trigger undesirable immunological responses. Bioresorbable polymer stents can provide a temporary scaffold that resorbs once the artery heals but are mechanically inferior, requiring thicker struts for equivalent radial support, which may increase thrombosis...
