Revealing why polymer stents fail
Researchers in our lab have shown polymer stents fail because microscopic flaws in material structure can lead to stent deformation after implantation. Their study also reveals why the problems were not uncovered during the development process: The evaluation procedures, which were based on those used for metal stents, were not well-suited to evaluating polymer stents. The researchers […]
