Materials science aspects of the production, treatment, and properties of titanium nickelide for application in endovascular surgery

Abstract

The physicochemical properties and application of titanium nickelide TiNi as a biocompatible material for producing stents of various purposes are studied and reviewed. The biochemical factors that require protective coatings on stents are presented. Recommendations for the materials of coatings on titanium nickelide and for its treatment are made.
