Fabrication of polymer-based stents: Impact of test specimen manufacturing protocol

Various manufacturing techniques are available for polymer stent fabrication. Polymer semi-finished products can be prepared using solvent based methods, e.g. dip coating, as well as thermal processes, e.g. extrusion. These different methods may lead to an altered polymer crystal structure, resultin...
