Oligometastatic disease represents a clinical and anatomical manifestation between
localised and polymetastatic disease. In prostate cancer, as with other cancers, recognition …

Over the past decade the introduction of drug-eluting stents (DESs) has revolutionised the
treatment of coronary artery disease. However, in recent years concern has arisen over the …

In this study a numerical model is developed to predict the effects of corrosion on the
mechanical integrity of bioabsorbable metallic stents. To calibrate the model, the effects of …

The main drawback of a conventional stenting procedure is the high risk of restenosis. The
idea of a stent that “disappears” after having fulfilled its mission is very intriguing and …

In recent years, computational structural analyses have emerged as important tools to
investigate the mechanical response of stent placement into arterial walls. Although most …

Intracoronary stent implantation is a mechanical procedure, the success of which depends to
a large degree on the mechanical properties of each vessel component involved and the …

The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) has reduced the occurrence of restenosis in
coronary arteries. However, restenosis remains a problem in stented coronary bifurcations …

Background—Acute respiratory failure is one of the most common problems encountered in
intensive care units (ICU) and mechanical ventilation is the mainstay of supportive therapy …

Computational models of stent deployment in arteries have been widely used to shed light
on various aspects of stent design and optimisation. In this context, modelling of balloon …

The effect of cyclic loading frequency on pseudoelastic behavior and low cycle fatigue of
shape memory alloys (SMAs) is investigated. To this end, strain and stress controlled tensile …
