A computational study of crimping and expansion of bioresorbable polymeric stents

This paper studied the mechanical performance of four bioresorbable PLLA stents, i.e., Absorb, Elixir, Igaki-Tamai and RevaMedical, during crimping and expansion using the finite element method. Abaqus CAE was used to create the geometrical models for the four stents. A tri-folded balloon was create...
