Recent Progress on Mg- and Zn-Based Alloys for Biodegradable Vascular Stent Applications

Recent Progress on Mg- and Zn-Based Alloys for Biodegradable Vascular Stent Applications

Currently, biodegradable metals for implantation applications are widely investigated to replace biodegradable polymeric implantations, which may cause inflammatory or adverse local tissue reactions. Amongst these metals, magnesium (Mg) and zinc (Zn) alloys with good biocompatibility, mechanical pro...
