Numerical simulation of the functionality of a stent structure for venous valve prostheses
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a common disease characterized by impaired venous drainage leading to congestion in the lower limbs. Currently, there are no artificial or biological venous valve prostheses commercially available. Previous minimally invasive design concepts failed to achieve su...
