Objective: We aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of biobasorbable magnesium alloy
stents in porcine coronary arteries. Bioabsorbable magnesium stents carry the potential to …

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

The mechanical properties of artery stent are of key importance to the mechanical integrity
and biomechanical performance reliability of stent-plaque-artery system. In this paper …

A novel type of tubular structure has been proposed in this paper, which is the first tubular
structure with auxeticity in the wall thickness as well as in the radial direction. This tubular …

Purpose: To report the preliminary 3-month follow-up of a recently developed absorbable
metal stent (AMS) for treatment of infrapopliteal lesions in patients with critical limb ischemia …

Soft materials have been developed very rapidly in the biomedical field over the past 10
years because of advances in medical devices, cell therapy, and 3D printing for precision …

Intravascular stents are small tube-like structures expanded into stenotic arteries to restore
blood flow perfusion to the downstream tissues. The stent expansion is an important factor to …

Clinical studies have identified factors such as the stent design and the deployment
technique that are one cause for the success or failure of angioplasty treatments. In addition …

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

In this paper we suggest a new phenomenological material model for shape memory alloys.
In contrast to many earlier concepts of this kind the present approach includes arbitrarily …
