Abstract In order to open up the blocked lumen and remodel the blood environment, vascular stents were usually used to transplant into narrowed blood vessels. Due to its minimally invasive and highly efficiency, stenting has achieved great success in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, failure of stents due to its fatigue will damage the arterial wall, leading to adverse reactions such as thrombosis and in-stent restenosis (ISR), which severely limited its long-term outcome. Therefore, it was very important to predict the service life of stents, especially in tapered arteries.
FEA was adopted to study the effects of arterial tapering… More >
