Numerical modeling of local pharmacokinetics associated with drug-eluting stent
Atherosclerotic plaque formation in the arterial wall is the major cause of stenotic coronary disease. To restore distal blood supply and overcome restenosis presented by bare-metal stents, drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is widely used. However, the long-term efficacy of this mode of treatmen...
