From: Mechanical and physio-biological properties of peptide-coated stent for re-endothelialization
Mechanical properties of PCS and DESs. Radial force (a) and flexibility (b) were investigated by flat plate compression and 3-point bending test, respectively. Plastic deformation result of recoil (c) and foreshortening (d) was investigated under FDA guide line. Each datum point represents the mean ± SD (n = 10). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005
