Structural Design of Mechanical Property for Biodegradable Polymeric Stent

How to improve stent mechanical properties is a key issue for designing biodegradable polymeric stents (BPSs). In this study, a new design method of BPS was proposed based on the force analysis of supporting rings and bridges during stent implantation, and a novel BPS called open C-shaped stent (OCS...
