Impact of Degradation and Material Crystallinity on the Mechanical Performance of a Bioresorbable Polymeric Stent

Abstract Bioresorbable polymeric stents (BPS) offer possibilities to help address the long-term complications associated with permanent vascular implants, however in-vivo degradation behaviour is not yet fully understood. Here, finite element analysis (FEA) techniques based on physio-chemical reacti...
