Abstract
Disclosed herein are stents with degradable part and/or sections of the stent. The degradable portions of the disclosed stents can provide increased surface area for a period of time for bioactive material deposition or enhanced radiopacity at various locations along the length of the stent. The stents of the present invention also can stent portions of a vessel that are damaged by stent implantation but do not necessarily require long term stenting by providing degradable end sections on the stents of the present invention.
