The cardiovascular stent is considered in the treatment of coronary artery disease, a pathology of the coronary arteries that impacts 25% of the population. The objective of this thesis is to design and manufacture tubular or atypical stents such as bifurcations from mechanical metamaterials with potential applications in sensors. These stents will be based on biocompatible polymer materials on which surface treatments are considered for their functionalization. The issues are based on the compromise between biocompatibility, conformability, fatigue and stent connectivity. The innovation concerns the 3D printability of mechanical metamaterials, the design and manufacture of smart stents and finally the development of a digital twin to increase patient autonomy.
