Why the study?
Does axial stent strut angle influence wall shear stress and risk of neointimal hyperplasia after stent implantation?
Does axial stent strut angle influence wall shear stress and risk of neointimal hyperplasia after stent implantation?
Computational modeling suggests that stent foreshortening alters axial strut angle and wall shear stress, potentially increasing the risk of neointimal hyperplasia.

Hypothesis-generating for stent foreshortening effects; human studies needed before clinical consideration.
The current results suggest that foreshortening may predispose the stented vessel to a higher risk of neointimal hyperplasia.
