Mechanical and chemical characterisation of bioresorbable polymeric stent over two-year in vitro degradation

Polymeric stent is a temporary cardiovascular scaffold, made of biodegradable poly (l-lactic) acid, to treat coronary artery stenosis, with expected resorption by the human body over two to three years. In this paper, the mechanical properties of a polymeric stent over two-year in vitro degradation...
