Key result
Carotid stent design and cell geometry directly affect stent performance and local hemodynamics.
Why the study?
Technical issues related to carotid stent design, including cell geometry and hemodynamic changes, affect stent performance and clinical outcomes.
This review summarizes the technical aspects of carotid stent design, including cell geometry, and their clinical significance based on computational and experimental modeling.
Stent design may warrant consideration in carotid procedures; hypothesis-generating and leaves open effects on clinical outcomes.
Carotid artery stenting has gained popularity due to its minimally invasive approach. However, several design concerns preclude the successful use of carotid stents. Technical issues, such as open versus closed cells, scaffolding, trackability, foreshortening, and changes in local geometry and hemodynamics, affect stent performance. Previous clinical and experimental studies have evaluated current stent models while proposing and testing novel stent designs. This review focuses on the technical aspects of carotid stent design and the clinical significance of key design parameters identified via computational and experimental modeling.
