Biodegradable magnesium alloy stents (MAS) could present improved long-term clinical
performances over commercial bare metal or drug-eluting stents. However, MAS were found …

Magnesium (Mg)-based materials have excellent potential for application in biodegradable
vascular stents. Before application, all these materials need to be screened and optimized …

Biodegradable magnesium alloys have attracted research interest as matrix materials for
next-generation absorbable metallic coronary stents. Subject to cyclic stresses, magnesium …

The aim of this work was to study corrosion behavior of magnesium (Mg) alloys (MgZnCa
plates and AZ31 stents) under varied fluid flow conditions representative of the vascular …

Surface modification coating of magnesium alloy stents as a physical barrier is to inhibit the
corrosive medium from contact with matrix. In view of the complex deformation behavior of …

Predicting degradation behavior of biodegradable metals in vivo is crucial for the clinical
success of medical devices. This paper reports on the effect of long-term static stress on …

Abstract Biodegradable Magnesium (Mg) alloys have received increasing interest for
biomedical applications over the past few years. Current metallic cardiovascular implants …

Magnesium alloy coronary stent becomes a hot research topic due to its biodegradable
character for avoiding late thrombosis and late restenosis. However, fracture of Mg alloy …

Current in vitro models fail in predicting the degradation rate and mode of magnesium (Mg)
stents in vivo. To overcome this, the microenvironment of the stent is simulated here in an ex …
