Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloy stents are the most promising next generation of bio-
absorbable stents. In this article, we summarized the progresses on the in vitro studies …

This paper reviews the recent literature regarding the time-dependant computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) analyses of blood flow through implanted coronary stents. The in vivo …

Stents are deployed to physically reopen stenotic regions of arteries and to restore blood
flow. However, inflammation and localized stent thrombosis remain a risk for all current …

Coronary stent design affects the spatial distribution of wall shear stress (WSS), which can
influence the progression of endothelialization, neointimal hyperplasia, and restenosis …

Background The success of stent implantation in the restoration of blood flow through areas
of vascular narrowing is limited by restenosis. Several recent studies have suggested that …

Autonomous robot networks are an effective tool for monitoring large-scale environmental
fields. This paper proposes distributed control strategies for localizing the source of a noisy …

Stent sizing and apposition have been shown to be important determinants of clinical
outcome. This study evaluates the mechanical effects of undersizing and oversizing of stents …

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 …

A model that combines the results of in vivo experiment, 3D image data, and computer
simulation has been developed. Twelve identical stents were implanted into six healthy pigs …

This study introduces and compares computational fluid dynamics of Newtonian and non‐
Newtonian blood flows in coronary arteries, with and without considering stents. Three blood …
