3D printed polymers that mimic the mechanical properties of atherosclerotic blood vessels for training models: the advantageous degradation induced by UV radiation and hydrolysis

Abstract Background Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease characterized by the narrowing and hardening of arteries that may induce serious complications and even sudden death. Percutaneous angioplasty is performed as the main treatment of atherosclerotic-based cardiovascular diseases, which are the l...
