... been debated, particularly with regards to the specific biological benefits of high or low aneurysm WSS. Therefore, this research proposes an additional parameter of WSS at the stent struts that could provide valuable insight regarding the device’s potential to promote occlusion at the aneurysm neck...

... Balloon-stented angioplasty is a common treatment for carotid arterial atherosclerosis. Clinical studies have shown that within 6 months of the initial procedure, 25% of stented-angioplasty patients develop restenosis, a postoperative narrowing of the artery due to plaque accumulation onto...

... by stenting. A stenting procedure involves inserting a slotted metal tube or coil into the artery and expanding it to help achieve a sufficient luminal size. To optimize the design of stents, we have developed a finite element model of the stenting procedure. The results showed the distal ends of the stent...

... 28 03 2008 Strut thickness in coronary stents has been shown to affect their clinical performance. The purpose of this investigation was to understand how stent strut thickness influenced stress in the vessel wall. Finite element modeling was used to compare stress distribution between...
