Numerical Study of Bloodstream Diffusion of the New Generation of Drug-Eluting Stents in Coronary Arteries

The present work aims at developing a numerical study on the drug diffusion in the bloodstream in a coronary artery with drug-eluting stent implanted. The blood was modeled as a single-phase, incompressible and Newtonian fluid and the Navier–Stokes equation was approximated according to the Finite E...
