Mechanical analysis of a novel biodegradable zinc alloy stent based on a degradation model

Abstract Background Biodegradable stents display insufficient scaffold performance due to their poor Young’s Modulus. In addition, the corresponding biodegradable materials harbor weakened structures during degradation processes. Consequently, such stents have not been extensively applied in clinica...
