Transarticular vascular stent and method of making same
By using segmented design and electrospinning technology to fabricate cross-articular vascular stents, the problem of insufficient adaptability of existing stents in the lower limb arterial region has been solved. This has enabled the stent to achieve compliance and fatigue resistance under complex mechanical deformation, reducing restenosis and fracture.

AI Technical Summary
Existing stent designs cannot take into account the differentiated needs of different regions of the lower limb arteries, making them prone to restenosis or breakage under mechanical deformation in the FPA region. Existing stents cannot simultaneously maintain compliance and fatigue resistance under axial compression, torsion and bending.
The stent adopts a transarticular vascular design, comprising a first part and a second part. The first part consists of multiple first stent rings and a covering membrane, and the second part consists of multiple second stent rings and a connecting membrane. The covering membrane and connecting membrane are prepared by electrospinning technology. The stent rings are made of absorbable materials and coated with sustained-release drugs. The design of the stent rings and connecting membranes is adapted to the mechanical deformation of different regions.
It effectively avoids stent breakage and restenosis, reduces the probability of secondary surgery, maintains vascular patency, adapts to the complex mechanical deformation of lower limb arteries, and reduces mechanical stress stimulation on the arterial wall.
