Advances in Biodegradable Vascular Stent Materials

摘要

Biodegradable vascular stent is mainly made of materials that can be naturally decomposed. After implantation into human blood vessels, the vascular stent can be continuously degraded over time and eventually disappear completely after the treated blood vessels are healed and support from the vascular stent is not needed. The vascular stent materials used in clinic should have good biocompatibility, which mainly involves blood compatibility and cell compatibility. In terms of cell compatibility, the influence of materials on cell growth should be observed. The various biological materials should have good anticoagulant character, so as to reduce the tendency of thrombosis and avoid the occurrence of various risk events in clinical treatment.
