Bioresorbable stent to manage congenital heart defects in children
This article assembles large, pediatric-sized stents (Ø10 - Ø20 mm) from poly(L-lactide) fibers (DH-BDS) at two thicknesses, 250 µm and 300 µm. DH-BDS exhibiting hoop strength similar to metal stents and demonstrating minimal degradation and strength loss over the first year before completely disappearing within 3 to 4.5 years show promise as a pediatric interventional alternative to current strategies.
