BIODEGRADABLE ENDOPROSTHESES AND METHODS FOR THEIR FABRICATION
The disclosure provides biodegradable implantable devices such as a stent comprising a biodegradable polymeric material wherein the polymeric material is treated to control crystallinity and/or Tg. The stent is capable of expanding at body temperature in a body lumen from a crimped configuration to a deployed diameter and will have sufficient strength to support a body lumen when expanded.
