Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the potential of PLLA-Co-CL/PDLA blends as materials for cardiovascular implants.
  • 3D printing of films using PLLA-Co-CL/PDLA blends at a 90:10 ratio
  • Assessment of hydrophilicity and cyto-compatibility
  • Evaluation of endothelial cell viability and vasoactive signaling
  • PLLA-Co-CL/PDLA blends exhibited favorable hydrophilic properties.
  • The blends supported high endothelial cell viability.
  • Vasoactive signaling was balanced, indicating good compatibility for implants.

Abstract

-CL/PDLA blends─particularly 3D-printed films at a 90:10 ratio─provide hydrophilic, cyto-compatible surfaces that support endothelial viability and balanced vasoactive signaling. These findings highlight their potential as biodegradable cardiovascular implant coverings.
