Biodegradable　zinc　alloy　stents　are　a　prospective　solution　for　complications　caused　by　the　incompatibility　between　artery　and　permanent　stents.　However,　insufficient　scaffolding　has　limited　the　clinical　application　of　biodegradable　zinc　alloy　stents.　Therefore,　in　this　study,　a　new　stent　concept　was　designed　to　improve　the　scaffolding.　The　mechanical　performances　of　the　new　and　a　traditional　design　stent　were　investigated　and　compared　using　finite　element　analysis　(FEA).　The　new　and　traditional　design　stent　were　expanded　to　the　intended　radial　displacement　of　0.24　mm　under　the　expansion　pressure　of　0.58　MPa　and　0.45　MPa,　respectively.　Then,　a　pressure　load　of　0.35　MPa　was　exerted　on　the　outer　surfaces　of　the　two　stents　to　compress　them.　The　results　showed　that　the　radial　recoiling　ratio　were　45.3%　and　83.3%　for　the　new　and　the　traditional　stent,　respectively.　The　simulations　demonstrate　that　the　biodegradable　zinc　alloy　stent　offers　enhanced　support　because　of　the　new　structural　design.　This　study　implies　that　biodegradable　zinc　alloy　stent　can　be　a　new　competitive　intervention　device　for　the　future　clinical　cardiovascular　application.
