Braided composite stent for peripheral vascular applications

Braided composite stent for peripheral vascular applications

Braided composite stent (BCS), woven with nitinol wires and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) strips, provides a hybrid design of stent. The mechanical performance of this novel stent has not been fully investigated yet. In this work, the influence of five main design factors (number of nitinol wires...
