Effects of material, coating, design and plaque composition on stent deployment inside a stenotic artery-finite element simulation

Finite-element simulations have been carried out to study the effects of material choice, drug eluting coating and cell design on the mechanical behaviour of stents during deployment inside a stenotic artery. Metallic stents made of materials with lower yield stress and weaker strain hardening tend...
