Fabrication and in vitro deployment of a laser-activated shape memory polymer vascular stent
BACKGROUND: Vascular stents are small tubular scaffolds used in the treatment of arterial stenosis (narrowing of the vessel). Most vascular stents are metallic and are deployed either by balloon expansion or by self-expansion. A shape memory polymer (SMP) stent may enhance flexibility, compliance, a...
