Coronary stents have revolutionized the treatment of coronary artery disease. Improvement
in clinical outcomes requires detailed evaluation of the performance of stent biomechanics …

There is a growing body of evidence that “in situ” modification of the microstructure of Nitinol
due to pre-strain and mean strain strongly influence the fatigue properties of implanted …

Abstract Background and Objective: The main objective of the work is to examine the
curvature effects of stenosis/dilatation region pertaining to left coronary artery. The …

Background and objectives Real-time blood flow variation is crucial for understanding the
dynamic development of coronary atherosclerosis. The main objective of this study is to …

为了克服形状记忆合金(Shape memory alloy, SMA) 管接系统在装配过程中的数值模拟不够
精细, SMA 管接头紧固力影响因素研究不够详尽的缺点, 基于热力学Gibbs 自由能, 推导SMA …

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 …

Despite being commonly employed to treat peripheral artery disease, self-expanding Nitinol
stents are still associated with relatively high incidence of failure in the mid-and long-term …

Braided stents are self-expandable devices widely used in many different clinical
applications. In-silico methods could be a useful tool to improve the design stage and …

Self-expanding Nitinol stents are increasingly used to treat femoropopliteal artery (FPA)
occlusions, but the risk of stent fatigue failure exists due to complex artery deformation …

Background and objective: Nanoparticle-mediated targeted drug delivery is a promising
option for treatment of atherosclerosis. However, the drug targeting may be affected by …
