Abstract

This study aims to enhance the degradation uniformity of PLGA sinus stents to minimize fracture risk caused by stress corrosion. Symmetric stent structures were introduced and compared to sinusoidal structure in terms of stress and degradation uniformity during implantation and degradation processes. Three surrogate models were employed to optimize the honeycomb-like structure. Results showed honeycomb-like structures exhibited the superior stress distribution and highest degradation uniformity. The kriging model achieved the smallest error and degradation uniformity of 83.24%. In conclusion, enhancing the symmetry of stent structures improves degradation uniformity, and the kriging model has potential for the optimization of stent structures.
