The doping of biologically meaningful ions into biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) bioceramics, which exhibit biocompatibility with human body parts, has led to their effective use in biomedical applications in recent years. Doping with metal ions while changing the characteristics of the dopant ions, an arrangement of various ions in the Ca/P crystal structure. In our work, small-diameter vascular stents based on BCP and biologically appropriate ion substitute-BCP bioceramic materials were developed for cardiovascular applications. The small-diameter vascular stents were created using an extrusion process. FTIR, XRD, and FESEM were used to identify the functional groups, crystallinity, and morphology of the synthesized bioceramic materials. In addition, investigation of the blood compatibility of the 3D porous vascular stents was carried out via hemolysis. The outcomes indicate that the prepared grafts are appropriate for clinical requirements.
