Background Design of new coronary stents involves consideration of various performance
criteria including radial stiffness, durability, crimpability, material, and manufacturing choices …

Abstract Design Simulation and Experimental Design are widely used techniques in
engineering design studies. Design simulation is useful in the virtual testing of new designs …

Background The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology for coronary stent
product development, which is focused on design and simulation. The new methodology …

Coronary stents are slotted tubes made of metals, alloys, or polymers. They are deployed in
human arteries, which are blocked by calcified plaque, to keep the arteries open and allow …

Cardiovascular stents have been used since the 1990s to treat atherosclerosis, one of
leading causes of death in the western world, and structural optimization has led to …

Coronary heart disease is mainly related to cholesterol plaque build up which causes
hardening and narrowing of the arteries, consequently reducing or blocking blood flow to the …

Coronary stents are used extensively as a minimally invasive device for unblocking
occluded coronary arteries stably. Restenosis is the re-occlusion of the artery post-stent …

Today, endovascular prosthesis—stents are used as a solution for treating many health
disorders and diseases. Their major application is found in treating cardiovascular diseases …

The miniature nature of the coronary stent systems has substantially limited the extent of
quantifying their post-procedural outcomes. Fortunately, advances in computational …

The implantation of intravascular stent (IVS) is a kind of coronary angioplasty to restore the
blood flow perfusion to the downstream of the heart muscle tissue. The superior mechanical …
