From basically pure magnesium and pure iron, the choice and technology for proposed biodegradable metals for cardiovascular applications have been progressed. These metals have been tested and validated by in vitro, in vivo till pre-clinical and clinical testing. Even though, lessons from their 10 years development indicated that the ideal characteristics of both the metals and the implants are yet to be achieved.
