Numerical simulation and in vitro examination of the flow behaviour within coronary stents

This paper discusses the influence of different design parameters of stents by mathematical flow simulations and flow measurements using micro-particle image velocimetry (micro-PIV). A stent strut may cause recirculation areas, which are considered to be the source of thrombosis and the process of i...
