Palavras-chave: | Biodegradable stents |

Resumo(s): | Commercial stents, especially metallic ones, present several disadvantages, and this gives rise to the necessity of producing or coating stents with different materials, like natural polymers, in order to improve their biocompatibility and minimize the disadvantages of metallic ones. This review paper discusses some applications of natural-based polymers in stents, namely polylactic acid (PLA) for stent development and chitosan for biocompatible coatings of stents . Furthermore, some effective stent functionalization techniques will be discussed, namely Layer by Layer (LBL) technique. |
