A combination strategy of functionalized polymer coating with Ta ion implantation for multifunctional and biodegradable vascular stents

Biodegradable stents made of magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have been developed to minimize persistent inflammation or in-stent restenosis, which are the main problems for permanent stents. However, their rapid corrosion behavior under physiological conditions leads to poor vascular compatibility and...
