Constitutive modeling for biodegradable polymers for application in endovascular stents

Constitutive modeling for biodegradable polymers for application in endovascular stents

Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty followed by drug-eluting stent implantation has been of great benefit in coronary applications, whereas in peripheral applications, success rates remain low. Analysis of healing patterns in successful deployments shows that six months after implantation...
