Abstract

Since the first coronary stent was developed about three decades ago, a variety of designs have been produced by medical device companies, especially the revolutionary drug eluting stents. To reduce the risk of clinical complications, it is important to implant the most suitable stent for the patient, for which it is imperative to have a thorough understanding of the biomechanical behaviour of stents with different designs, materials and coatings. This is the motivation behind this research paper.
