Optimization of stent designs regarding the thrombosis risk using computational fluid dynamics
In-stent thrombosis is a major complication of stent implantations. Unlike pathological occurrences as in-stent restenosis for instance, thrombosis represents an acute event associated with high mortality rates. Experiments show that low wall shear stress promotes undirected endothelial cell coverag...
