## Abstract Biodegradable helicoidal stent prototypes made up of layers of polyβLβlactic acid (PLLA) and poly(Lβlacticβ__co__βglycolic acid) (PLGA) polymers were fabricated by temperature conditioning the stents at different stages of fabrication. The process incorporated elastic memory, or selfβex
The current study investigates the feasibility of using a biodegradable polymeric stent in common bile duct (CBD) repair and reconstruction. Here, poly(L-lactide-coglycolide) (PLGA, molar ratio LA/GA Ο 80/20) was processed into a circular tube-and dumbbell-shaped specimens to determine the in vitro
