Abstract:Biodegradable polymer stents have a wide application prospect in the treatment of vascular stenosis diseases. However, weak radial performance of polymer stents hinders the treatment of the diseases with high demand for radial supporting, such as portal vein stenosis. According to previous research, the constraint mode between monofilaments is a key factor that affects the radial performance of polymer braided stent. In this work, a series of Poly(l‐lactic acid) (PLLA) stents with the elastomer coating were pr… Show more
