Abstract:
As an important medical instrument in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, endovascular stents must have excellent biocompatibility. In this paper, after a description of the performance and fabrication process of stents, we analyzed the technology to improve the biocompatibility of stents during the fabrication process which is the effective method for decreasing the rate of restenosis.
