In-vivo efficacy of biodegradable ultrahigh ductility Mg-Li-Zn alloy tracheal stents for pediatric airway obstruction
Tracheal stenosis, a debilitating condition limits air passage to lungs affecting pediatric and adult populations. Current biodegradable polymeric stent therapies are far from ideal. An ultrahigh ductility biodegradable magnesium based alloy (LZ61-KBMS) developed herein may offer a viable solution.
