Development of Biodegradable Polymeric Stents for the Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases

Blog Article

Cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause of death.A vascular stent is an effective means for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.In recent years, biodegradable polymeric vascular stents have been widely Voucher Wallet investigated by researchers because of its degradability and clinical application potential for cardiovascular disease treatment.Compared to non-biodegradable stents, these stents are designed to degrade after vascular healing, leaving regenerated healthy arteries.

This article reviews and summarizes the recent advanced methods for fabricating biodegradable polymeric GRUNDIG GKNG1691DG 50/50 Fridge Freezer - Graphite stents, including injection molding, weaving, 3D printing, and laser cutting.Besides, the functional modification of biodegradable polymeric stents is also introduced, including visualization, anti-thrombus, endothelialization, and anti-inflammation.In the end, the challenges and future perspectives of biodegradable polymeric stents were discussed.
