Magnesium (Mg) has emerged as an ideal alternative to the permanent implant materials
owing to its enhanced properties such as biodegradation, better mechanical strengths than …

Background and objectives Bioresorbable braided stents, typically made of bioresorbable
polymers such as poly-l-lactide (PLLA), have great potential in the treatment of critical limb …

Despite being commonly employed to treat peripheral artery disease, self-expanding Nitinol
stents are still associated with relatively high incidence of failure in the mid-and long-term …

In order to study the influence of different vascular stenosis rates and stent-to-artery ratios on
the fatigue strength and reliability of lower limb arterial stents, numerical simulation was …

Abstract Background Superficial femoral arteries (SFAs) treated with self-expanding stents
are widely affected by in-stent restenosis (ISR), especially in case of long lesions and …

Peripheral arterial disease differentially affects the superficial femoral (SFA) and the
popliteal (PA) arteries, but their morphometric, structural, mechanical, and physiologic …

Abstract Background and Objectives The integration of hemodynamic markers as risk factors
in restenosis prediction models for lower-limb peripheral arteries is hindered by fragmented …

Endovascular therapy in patients suffering from peripheral arterial disease shows high rates
of restenosis. The poor clinical outcomes are commonly explained by the demanding …

In this work, stenting in non-calcified and heavily calcified coronary arteries was quantified in
terms of diameter-pressure relationships and load transfer from the balloon to the artery. The …

The objective of this study is to present a credibility assessment of finite element modelling
of self-expanding nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) stents through verification and validation (VV) …
