(A) Sketch map of the PDLLA-Zn-nitrided Fe BRS with a nanoscale Zn sacrificial layer intercalated between the sirolimus-eluting PDLLA coating and the nitrided Fe platform. (B and C) SEM images of the strut cross section. (D) XPS spectrum and (E) XRD pattern of the sample after nanoscale Zn sacrificial layer deposition.
