Abstract: A degradable biomedical magnesium alloy drug-eluting vascular stent and a preparation method. With the total weight of a magnesium alloy being 100% for calculation, the magnesium alloy comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 3.0-6.0% of Gd, 2.5-5.5% of Y, 1.0-3.0% of Li, 0.3-1.0% of Zn, 0.2-1.0% of Zr, and the balance being Mg. The stent has good radial support strength and strain dispersion capability by means of finite element design. After a protective coating is used, the corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy stent is greatly improved. An arsenic trioxide/rapamycin and tacrolimus composite drug sustained-release system is used to fully adapt to the damage repair process of blood vessels. An implantation result of large animals shows that the vascular stent system has a good anti-restenosis treatment effect.
