A hazardous boundary of Poly(L-lactic acid) braided stent design: Limited elastic deformability of polymer materials. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 138:105628. [PMID: 36543082 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2022.105628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) braided stents, which are expected to replace metal stents, are promising in peripheral vascular therapy due to their superior biocompatibility. Although various design ideas have been proposed and investigated on metal stents, few researches are related to the design theory of PLLA braided stent. In this article, mechanical performance of PLLA braided stents with different parameters was systematically evaluated, and a design theory based on material properties was proposed. Different from metal materials, the risk of filament deformation beyond elastic zone should be evaluated and controlled in PLLA stent design. The findings were obtained through combination study of experiments and simulations. Design parameters, including pitch angle and stent diameter, played a crucial role in mechanical performance of PLLA braided stent. The deformation of PLLA stents with larger pitch angles and stent diameters was in elastic zone and thus presented better mechanical performance with satisfactory resilience. This work could provide meaningful suggestions for preparing bioresorbable braided stents with suitable design parameters.

Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14081673.

Abstract
The incessant developments in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields, particularly, customised solutions for specific diseases with targeted therapeutic treatments, require the design of multicomponent materials with multifunctional capabilities. Biodegradable polymers offer a variety of tailored physicochemical properties minimising health adverse side effects at a low price and weight, which are ideal to design matrices for hybrid materials. PLAs emerge as an ideal candidate to develop novel materials as are endowed withcombined ambivalent performance parameters. The state-of-the-art of use of PLA-based materials aimed at pharmaceutical and biomedical applications is reviewed, with an emphasis on the correlation between the synthesis and the processing conditions that define the nanostructure generated, with the final performance studies typically conducted with either therapeutic agents by in vitro and/or in vivo experiments or biomedical devices.
