Why the study?
Studies investigating the relations between the structure of TAVI stents and their mechanical performance are rare, which is needed to guide customized manufacturing and avoid post-operative complications.
Different TAVI stent geometries significantly affect bending stiffness, which can inform patient-specific device selection and customized manufacturing.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Stent stiffness variation is hypothesis-generating; should not yet inform TAVI device selection or manufacturing.
