Review: Biomechanical impacts of vascular stents

Objectives: Coronary stents are widely used as an effective intervention for coronary artery disease (CAD). This study investigates the biomechanical and hemodynamic consequences of stent implantation on arterial blood flow. While stenting improves myocardial perfusion and decreases vascular resistance, it can also lead to adverse effects, such as altered flow patterns, endothelial injury, and increased arterial stiffness. These factors may contribute to restenosis and other complications. This review summarizes biomechanical alterations caused by stenting and highlights recent strategies aimed at enhancing stent performance. To investigate the biomechanical and hemodynamic consequences of coronary stent implantation on arterial blood flow and to assess strategies aimed at mitigating related complications
