The permanent vascular implant of a stent, however, changes the intra-stent blood flow hemodynamics. There is a growing consensus that the stent implant may change the artery wall shear stress distribution and hence lead to the restenosis process. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been widely used to analyze hemodynamics in stented arteries. In this paper, two CFD models (the axisymmetric model and the 3-D stent model) were developed to investigate the effects of strut geometry and blood rheology on the intra-stent hemodynamics. The velocity profile, flow recirculation, and wall shear stress distribution of various stent strut geometries were studied. Results show strong correlations between the intra-stent hemodynamics and strut geometry. The intra-stent blood flow is very sensitive to the strut height and fillet size. A round strut with a large fillet size shows 36% and 34% reductions in key parameters evaluating the restenosis risk for the axisymmetric model and the 3-D stent model, respectively. This suggests that electrochemical polishing, a surface-improving process during stent manufacturing, strongly influences the hemodynamic behavior in stented arteries and should be controlled precisely in order to achieve the best clinical outcome. Rheological effects on the wall shear stress are minor in both axisymmetric and 3-D stent models for the vessel diameter of 4 mm, with Newtonian flow simulation tending to give more conservative estimates ofrestenosis risk. Therefore, it is reasonable to simulate the blood flow as a Newtonian flow in stented arteries using the simpler axisymmetric model. These findings will provide great insights for stent design optimization for potential restenosis improvement.展开更多

Different from the traditional stents, a novel stent with triangular wire cross-section was proposed, and numerical simulations were performed to compare the hemodynamic effect of the novel stent with that of traditional ones. Three constructed aneurysm models were treated with a different kin^l of stent separately, including one with bare circular wire cross-section stent (named CM), one with bare rectangular wire cross-section stent (named RM), one with bare triangular cross-section stent (named TM). An unstented aneurysm model was also constructed to serve as a control (named UM). Numerical simulations of the fluid-structure interaction in these four models were performed under the same boundary conditions using finite element method. The simulation results demonstrated the resistance of the novel stent is lower than RM stent, but higher than that of CM stent. TM stent attributes a higher velocity decreasing and a longer turnover time compared with CM stent. The distribution of wall shear stress indicated the possibility of aneurysm development along the distal wall was higher than the proximal wall, and the top of aneurysm was in the highest risk of rupture.展开更多
