Abstract:
Magnesium and its alloy are used for the most potential endovascular stent material due to their excellent mechanical capabilities, adjustable corrosive properties, the little side effects of the materials and their degradation products. The in vito degradation rate of the current magnesium and its alloy as endovascular stent is very quickly so that the artery is not supported long enough to prevent negative remodeling. This review detailed the approach to enhance the corrosion resistance, in vitro corrosion rate measurement of magnesium and its alloy, as well as the in vito corrosion research when as the endovascular stents.
