abstract = {The degradation of Mg alloys relates to the service performance of Mg alloy biodegradable implants. In order to investigate the degradation behavior of Mg alloys as vascular stent materials in the near service environment, the hot-extruded fine-grained Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy microtubes, which are employed to manufacture vascular stents, were tested under radial compressive stress in the dynamic Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS). The results revealed that the high flow rate accelerates the degradation of Mg alloy microtubes and its degradation is sensitive to radial compressive stress. These results contribute to understanding the service performance of Mg alloys as vascular stent materials.}
