A novel 3D additive manufacturing machine to biodegradable stents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Biodegradable stents offer the potential to improve long-term patency rates by providing support just long enough for the artery to heal. However, design a biodegradable structure for an intended period of support is rather difficult.
