Endovascular stenting has matured into a commonly used treatment for peripheral arterial
disease (PAD) due to its minimally invasive nature and associated reductions in short-term …

Factors such as aging, atherosclerosis, hypertension, genetic defects and diabetes mellitus
have been known to cause arteries to develop various shapes and characteristics in patients …

Background High failure rates of femoropopliteal artery (FPA) interventions are often
attributed in part to severe mechanical deformations that occur with limb movement. Axial …

Medical devices, particularly endovascular stents, manufactured from superelastic Nitinol, a
near-equiatomic alloy of Ni and Ti, are subjected to complex mixed-mode loading conditions …

High failure rates of femoropopliteal artery reconstruction are commonly attributed to
complex 3D arterial deformations that occur with limb movement. The purpose of this study …

Objective The purpose of this study was to review the available literature regarding the
biomechanics of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and popliteal artery (PA) in patients with …

More than 200 million people worldwide have peripheral artery disease (PAD) or its most
severe manifestation, critical limb ischemia (CLI). While endovascular treatment has become …

Despite recent advances in endovascular therapy for peripheral artery disease, current
technologies remain limited by rates of long-term restenosis and application to complex …

Background: Poor durability of femoropopliteal artery (FPA) stenting is multifactorial, and
severe FPA deformations occurring with limb flexion are likely involved. Different stent …

The great success of stents in treating cardiovascular disease is actually undermined by
their long-term fatigue failure. The high variability of stent failure incidence suggests that it is …
