Design and Shape Optimization of a Biodegradable Polymeric Stent for Curved Arteries Using FEM
Stent treatment has revealed safe and efficient outcomes for straight arteries, while it is still challenging for curved coronary arteries. On the one hand, a stent should be flexible enough to take the artery’s curvature with the least stress to the artery wall. On the other hand, it has to be stro...
