Abstract:
Biodegradable intravascular stents (BIS) become degraded after the short-term need for a stent and thus avoid the potential long-term complications of metal stents. In this paper, the research progress of BIS was reviewed; the materials, fabrication, design, experimental and clinical tests of biodegradable polymeric intravascular stents (BPIS) are introduced.
