Zn-alloy provides a novel platform for mechanically stable bioresorbable vascular stents.

Zn-alloy provides a novel platform for mechanically stable bioresorbable vascular stents.

Metallic Zn alloys have recently gained interest as potential candidates for developing platforms of bioresorbable vascular stents (BVS). Previous studies revealed that Mg alloys used for BVS can degrade too early, whereas PLLA materials may fail to provide effective scaffolding properties. Here we...
