Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is currently the most conventional and effective
method for clinically treating cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Stent …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions remains an ongoing challenge for
interventional cardiologists. Stenting of coronary bifurcations carries higher risk for in-stent …

Progression and rupture of atherosclerotic plaques in coronary and carotid arteries are the
key processes underlying myocardial infarctions and strokes. Biomechanical stress …

The aim of this position paper is to provide a brief overview of the current status of
cardiovascular modelling and of the processes required and some of the challenges to be …

Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloy stents are the most promising next generation of bio-
absorbable stents. In this article, we summarized the progresses on the in vitro studies …

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. Vascular implants, such as
stents, are required to treat arterial stenosis or dilatation. The development of innovative …

Patient-specific and lesion-specific computational simulation of bifurcation stenting is an
attractive approach to achieve individualized pre-procedural planning that could improve …

Biomechanical modeling has a wide range of applications in the medical field, including in
