Absorbable metals have shown significant clinical potential for temporary implantapplications, where the material is eventually replaced by healthy, functioning tissue.However, several challenges remain before these metals can be used in humans.Innovations and further improvements are required. This book collects scientificcontributions dealing with the development of absorbable metals with improved andunique corrosion and mechanical properties for applications in highly loaded implants orcardiovascular and urethral stents.

This book in the emerging research field of biomaterials covers biodegradable metals for biomedical applications. The second part exposes an example of biodegradable metals from its concept to applications where a complete study on metallic biodegradable stent is detailed from materials design, development, testing till the implant fabrication.
