Novel Self-expanding Shape-Memory Bioresorbable Peripheral Stent Displays Efficient Delivery, Accelerated Resorption, and Low Luminal Loss in a Porcine Model.

The stent with the mechanical and chemical properties described in this study may present the optimal solution of the trade-off between deliverability and luminal stability that is necessary for designing the next generation stent for endovascular therapy of peripheral arterial disease.
