Numerical models of net-structure stents inserted into arteries
Analyses of stresses developed on artery wall after net structure stent implantation. Planar 2D numerical models are in good agreement with complex 3D models. 2D cases can be used as a simplified and convenient tool for calculating the arterial wall stresses in complex cases. Axisymmetric models may provide the worst-case estimation values for a stent of interest.
