    Abstract Biodegradable zinc alloy stents are a prospective solution for complications caused by the incompatibility between artery and permanent stents. However, insufficient scaffolding has limited the clinical application of biodegradable zinc alloy stents. Therefore, in this study, a new stent concept was designed to improve the scaffolding. The mechanical performances of the new and a traditional design stent were investigated and compared using finite element analysis (FEA). The new and traditional design stent were expanded to the intended radial displacement of 0.24 mm under the expansion pressure of 0.58 MPa and 0.45 MPa, respectively. Then, a More >
