The study concerns the determination of mechanical properties of human coronary arterial walls with both experimental and constitutive modeling approaches. The research material was harvested from 18 patients (range 50-84 years). On the basis of hospital records and visual observation, each tissue sample was classified according to the stage (0, I, II, III) of atherosclerosis development (SAD).

- The study focuses on developing biodegradable polymers for temporary vascular stents, aiming to reduce complications from long-term implants while allowing vessel regeneration.
- Different models of biodegradable stents were created and tested for their ability to withstand radial loads, which is crucial for stent durability.
- The performance of these biodegradable stents was compared to commercial metallic implants, including assessing protein adhesion and microstructural changes during incubation in a nutrient-rich environment.
