Stent Description of Stent ☞ What is a “Stent”? and How is a one used? -. Stainless steel wire mesh tube for blood vessel frame.(Medical treatment for artery disease) -. Injection of stent with balloon for blood vessel expanding into the main artery [ASTM F.562] 1.8mm(φ) 18.2mm(L) 5mm(L) 23.2mm(L)
SUS 316L AAO Stent AAO + Stent SUS 316L SUS 316L Issues and formation of drug storage space on Stent ☞ Issue in Stent -. Re-closure : restenosis rates are 20% to 40% at 6 months. -. Restenosis is a serious problem – Solution : drug-eluting stent. < Motivation > Need a drug storage space of nano-scale !! Drug-eluting stents are coated with drugs that are slowly released and help keep the blood vessel from reclosing • Formation of drug storage space on Stent Aluminum AAO Stainless steel wire Anodic oxidation Al deposition by evaporator
