Abstract The so-called fourth-generation biodegradable vascular stent has become a research hotspot in the field of bio-engineering because of its good degradation ability and drug-loading characteristics. However, the preparation of polymer-degraded vascular stents is affected by known problem such as poor process flexibility, low forming accuracy, large diameter wall thickness, limited complex pore structure, weak mechanical properties of radial support and high process cost. In this study, a deposition technique based on a high-voltage electric-field-driven continuous rotating jet is proposed to fabricate fully degraded polymer vascular stents. The experimental results show that, due to the rotation… More >
