The influence of strut-connectors in coronary stents: A comparison of numerical simulations and μPIV measurements

This paper discusses the influence of different designs of strut-connectors of stents by numerical flow simulations and flow examinations using micro particle image velocimetry (μPIV). Many studies have shown that there is a correlation between the hemodynamics after stent implantation and the cause...
