Computational carotid stent findings warrant no practice change; leaves open clinical validation in humans.
How do different self-expanding stent designs affect vessel wall stress, lumen gain, and vessel straightening in a patient-specific carotid artery model?
Finite element analysis can simulate carotid artery stenting to evaluate the biomechanical performance of different stent designs in patient-specific anatomies.
Auricchio et al. (2010) studied this question.
