Multi-Objective Optimizations of Biodegradable Polymer Stent Structure and Stent Microinjection Molding Process

Biodegradable stents made of poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) have a promising prospect thanks to high biocompatibility and a favorable biodegradation period. However, due to the low stiffness of PLLA, polymeric stents have a lower radial stiffness and larger foreshortening. Furthermore, a stent is a tiny...
