Abstract

Abstract : 3D‐printed stents are fabricated with high speed and resolution by micro‐continuous liquid interface production (microCLIP) of a bioresorbable, antioxidant, photopolymerizable polydiolcitrate biomaterial. Printed stents can match the mechanical properties of bare metal stents and strengthen porcine arteries after deployment. This technology is a big step forward toward on‐the‐spot and on‐demand printing of patient‐specific stents.
