In the world, one of the leading causes of death is coronary artery disease (CAD). There are
several ways to treat this disease, and stenting is currently the most appropriate way in many …

The significance of advanced smart materials in recent technological research and
advancement is apparent from its extensive use in present day devices and instruments. Of …

Zinc (Zn) and Zn alloys have been studied as potential materials for bioresorbable stents
(BRSs) in the last decade due to their favorable biodegradability and biocompatibility …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
While the application of vascular stents has significantly improved the management of …

One of the main features of shape memory alloys in the field of medical applications
concerns their almost intrinsic biocompatibility. This chapter examines available alloys …

Abstract Poly (L-lactic acid)(PLLA) braided stents have superior biocompatibility and
flexibility, substituting metal stents in peripheral blood vessels. However, the radial …

Nitinol stents continuously experience loadings due to pulsatile pressure, thus a given stent
design should possess an adequate fatigue strength and, at the same time, it should …

Left main (LM) coronary artery bifurcation stenting is a challenging topic due to the distinct
anatomy and wall structure of LM. In this work, we investigated computationally and …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) possess considerable complexity in response to
thermomechanical load due to their strong dependence on strain, stress, temperature and …

Total endovascular repair of the aortic arch represents a promising option for patients
ineligible to open surgery. Custom-made design of stent-grafts (SG), such as the Terumo …
