Current status and outlook of potential applications of biodegradable materials in cerebral vascular stents

Abstract

The treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) has undergone a very significant transformation in recent decades, and endovascular interventions have gradually become one of the most common treatments. As permanent metal stents can cause some degree of long-term damage to patients, biodegradable stent materials are emerging as attractive potential alternatives. By reviewing the current research status and the advantages and disadvantages of existing biodegradable biomaterials, this review expects to provide a valuable reference for subsequent research on biodegradable biomaterials.

Keywords: Biodegradable; Ferroalloy; Magnesium alloy; Stents; Zinc alloy.
