Abstract
Magnesium alloy stents have demonstrated swift degradation within 90 days of implantation in porcine and human coronary arteries. These stents are radiolucent and thus cannot be visualized by angiography. To assess the rate of degradation, bioabsorbable magnesium alloy stents were deployed in porcine coronaries, and serial imaging by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) (Panels A and B) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Panels C and …
