Functionalization strategies and fabrication of solvent-cast PLLA for bioresorbable stents
(MDPI, 2021-02-06)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology / BOKU Universität für Bodenkultur WienActual polymer bioresorbable stents (BRS) generate a risk of device thrombosis as a consequence of the incomplete endothelialization after stent implantation. The material-tissue interactions are not fully controlled and ... -
