Effects of different positions of intravascular stent implantation in stenosed vessels on in-stent restenosis: An experimental and numerical simulation study

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been widely used in the treatment of atherosclerosis, while in-stent restenosis (ISR) has not been completely resolved. Studies have shown that changes in intravascular mechanical environment are related to ISR. Hence, an in-depth understanding of the effects of stent intervention on vascular mechanics is important for clinically optimizing stent implantation and relieving ISR. Nine rabbits with...
