Intravascular stents face adhesion-and corrosion-based challenges causing In-stent
Restenosis (ISR). This study analyzes the influences of thin-film Diamond-Like-Carbon …

Hydrogenated diamond‐like carbon films (a‐C: H DLC) were deposited on STS 304
substrates for the fabrication of vascular stents by means of the rf plasma‐assisted chemical …

DLC coating can be used for vascular stents to prevent the stainless steel substrate from
eluting Ni and Cr by plastic deformation and corrosion environment. The stress corrosion …

Diamond-ike carbon (DLC) coatings have been investigated with respect to biocompatibility,
mechanical stability under biofluid exposure, corrosion resistance and the impact of the …

A simulation study of inhibiting the corrosion and corrosion‐based restenosis is presented
by diamond‐like carbon (DLC) thin‐film coating on bare‐metallic intravascular stent models …

The bioabsorbable magnesium alloy stent exhibits a high dissolution rate; therefore, it faces
difficulty in achieving long-term vascular support rigidity. Thus, the control of dissolution rate …

In this study, diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were deposited on biomedical AISI316L
stainless steel by hybrid plasma source ion implantation (PSII) and plasma-enhanced …

Despite intravascular bare metallic stents (BMS) being indispensable products in
cardiovascular surgery, they face in-stent restenosis (ISR), resulting in stent failure or …

Diamond‐like carbon (DLC) films have been proposed as potential coatings for blood‐
contacting devices. In this study, tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta‐C) films deposited by …

The vast majority of stent thrombosis occurs in the acute and sub-acute phases and is more
common in patients with acute coronary syndromes, due to the thrombotic milieu where stent …
