Numerical design studies of meander structures for self-expanding absorbable stents

Absorbable stents made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) exhibit inferior mechanical properties compared with metal based devices. Therefore, design optimization by means of finite element analysis (FEA) plays an important role in development of high performance absorbable stents. In the present study, t...
