Bioabsorbable stent

Abstract

Provided is a biodegradable polymer coating stent effective in delaying the damage of physical properties (particularly radial force) of a core structure. The stent includes a core structure of a bioabsorbable material (e.g., Mg), a first coating layer of a first polymer with biodegradability, and a second coating layer of a second polymer with biodegradability, wherein the first coating layer covers the whole surface of the core structure; the second coating layer covers a part or the whole surface of the first coating layer; the first polymer has a glass transition point of lower than 37° C.; and the second polymer has a glass transition point of 47° C. or higher.
