Should not yet guide stent selection; extends computational modeling but leaves open in vivo validation.
Computational modeling suggests that stent designs with large axial strut spacing, blunted corners, and higher amplitudes minimize high stress areas on the artery wall while maintaining sufficient radial displacement.
Bedoya et al. (2006) studied this question.
