Abstract: Permanent metallic stents are associated with limitations such as continued biological interaction with the surrounding tissue, thrombosis and mismatch to the vessel size. Thus, biodegradable stents woven by polydioxanone (PDO) fiber were studied. The dynamic mechanical properties of the fiber and the stents were tested with DMTA. The results show that different weaving methods impact the mechanical properties of the stents.
