Magnesium Alloys as Degradable Biomaterials provides a
comprehensive review of the biomedical applications of
biodegradable magnesium and its alloys. Magnesium has seen
increasing use in orthopedic and cardiovascular applications over
the last decade, particularly for coronary stents and bone
implants. The book discusses the basic concepts of biodegradation
mechanisms as well as strategies to control biodegradation mode and
rate, microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance
to body fluid, and in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility. The
recently developed representative magnesium alloy systems-such as
Mg-Ca, Mg-Zn, Mg-Sr, Mg-Ag, Mg-Li, and Mg-RE-are reviewed and their
special properties illustrated. Also discussed are the
biodegradable magnesium alloys/aqueous solution interface
theoretical model and potential application prototypes, such as for
cardiology and orthopedic surgery products. Challenges of
transitioning biodegradable magnesium alloys from raw materials to
semi-products to final medical devices are covered along with main
findings of worldwide experimental studies. An ideal reference book
for researchers in the area of biodegradable metals, it presents
the state of the art of magnesium alloys designed for biomedical
applications.
This book summarizes the recent advancements for biomaterials in
the field of cardiovascular disease, including drug delivery system
(gene, protein, drug), implant interventional instrument (heart
valve, heart blocker, stent, artificial blood vessel, patch,
artificial heart, cardiac pacemaker, etc.) have been innovated and
applied to the clinical uses to treatment of cardiovascular
disease. Through the summary of this book, readers will have
comprehensive and advanced understanding of the application of
biomaterials in the field of cardiovascular disease.
