  • Publication number: 20100191323
    Abstract: A stent may help to reconstruct tissue in a vessel by causing the tissue to re-epithelialize. The stent may include a biodegradable frame and a sheet that coats the frame. The sheet may contain a biological material and may flex in unison with the frame in a radial direction. When placed in a vessel, the stent may at least partially conform to at least a portion of a vessel wall. The stent may be capable of being absorbed over a period of time, such as five years, one year, or six months. The stent may flex as the vessel wall dilates and constricts. The stent may be placed in any type of vessel including an artery and mobile vessels. The biodegradable frame may be made of a poly-lactide and/or magnesium. The sheet may contain a biological material including biologic arterial graft and/or an acellular dermal matrix.
