BVS stent optimisation based on a parametric model with a multistage validation process
Developing new polymer-based bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) requires a new structural geometry, as these polymer materials are characterised by substantially lower stiffness than metallic alloys. Sufficient radial strength of the stent is essential, as insufficient vessel wall support can le...
