Abstract
, the degradation products were safely eliminated without causing biliary stricture or obstruction, and tissue hyperplasia induced by stent was effectively alleviated. In conclusion, this study expands the applications potential of Zn alloy in biomedicine and provides reference for developing new generation biodegradable biliary stents.
