In vitro biocompatibility and endothelialization of novel magnesium-rare Earth alloys for improved stent applications.
Magnesium (Mg) based alloys are the most advanced cardiovascular stent materials. This new generation of stent scaffold is currently under clinical evaluation with encouraging outcomes. All these Mg alloys contain a certain amount of rare earth (RE) elements though the exact composition is not yet d...
