...Stefano Morlacchi; Claudio Chiastra; Dario Gastaldi; Giancarlo Pennati; Gabriele Dubini; Francesco Migliavacca Despite their success, stenting procedures are still associated to some clinical problems like sub-acute thrombosis and in-stent restenosis. Several clinical studies associate...

...Saeid Kasiri; Daniel J. Kelly Stenting of curved arteries is generally perceived to be more challenging than straight vessels. Conceptually implanting multiple shorter stents rather than a single longer stent into such a curved artery represents a promising concept, but little is known about...

...Colin J. Boyle; Alexander B. Lennon; Patrick J. Prendergast One way to restore physiological blood flow to occluded arteries involves the deformation of plaque using an intravascular balloon and preventing elastic recoil using a stent. Angioplasty and stent implantation cause unphysiological...

...Juan Mejia; Rosaire Mongrain; Olivier F. Bertrand A significant amount of evidence linking wall shear stress to neointimal hyperplasia has been reported in the literature. As a result, numerical and experimental models have been created to study the influence of stent design on wall shear stress...

... for each year of life. Eight percent of all strokes are caused by ruptured aneurysms. In order to prevent this rupture, endovascular stenting using so called flow diverters is increasingly being regarded as an alternative to the established coil occlusion method in minimally invasive treatment. Covering...

... is the use of stents. Stent design profoundly influences the postprocedural hemodynamic and solid mechanical environment of the stented artery. However, despite their wide acceptance, the incidence of stent late restenosis is still high ( Zwart et al., 2010, “Coronary Stent Thrombosis in the Current Era...

...Siddharth Vad; Amanda Eskinazi; Timothy Corbett; Tim McGloughlin; Jonathan P. Vande Geest Migration of stent-grafts (SGs) after endovascular aneurysm repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms is a serious complication that may require secondary intervention. Experimental, analytical, and computational...

...Kurosh Darvish; Mehdi Shafieian; Vasily Romanov; Vittorio Rotella; Michael D. Salvatore, Jr.; John Blebea Endovascular stent grafts for the treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms have become increasingly utilized and yet their locational stability in moderate chest trauma is unknown. A high speed...
