Microwave monitoring of biodegradable stents
The advent of biodegradable stents as a solution to human arteries obstructions may overcome pathologies related to former non-degradable stents. In this work we aim to characterize these state-of-the-art prosthetic devices using near-field probes to couple with magnesium biodegradable stents. By an...

| Sumario: | The advent of biodegradable stents as a solution to human arteries obstructions may overcome pathologies related to former non-degradable stents. In this work we aim to characterize these state-of-the-art prosthetic devices using near-field probes to couple with magnesium biodegradable stents. By analysing the transmission coefficient (S21) we intend to monitor the degradation process over time under in vivo-like conditions, as well as to detect structural defects in the stent?s scaffold. |
