چکیده
The present study aims to establish comprehensive test methods to evaluate the mechanical properties of the intravascular coronary stent with a closed cell design. We focused on three important mechanical properties required to the stent, bending flexibility, radial strength, and longitudinal strength. Test apparatuses and testing procedures were then developed for precise evaluation of those properties. It was found that the developed test apparatuses and testing methods successfully evaluated the mechanical properties of the stent. The results revealed that the mechanical properties were strongly influenced by the structure of the stent, that is, combination of the cell strut and the link strut.

Thermo-mechanical behavior of shape memory alloy made stent- graft by multi-plane model
Constitutive law for shape-memory alloys subjected to multi-axial loading, which is based on a semi-micromechanical integrated multi-plane model capable of internal mechanism observations, is generally not available in the literature. The presented numerical results show significant variations in the mechanical response along the multi loading axes. These are attributed to changes in the marten...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Vascular Stents Exploiting Shape-memory-alloy Behavior
Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) have the unique capability to recover the original shape, once mechanically deformed, through mechanical unloading, Superelastic Effect (SE), or through thermal loading, Shape Memory Effect (SME). These peculiar behaviors, coupled with a good material biocompatibility, have stimulated a wide diffusion of SMA in the area of biomedical devices. In this work we numericall...
متن کاملAcquired Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Coarctation: Treatment with Percutaneous Self Expandable Stent
Abdominal aortic coarctation is an extremely rare vascular pathology. Its etiology can be congenital or acquired. Here we present a case of acquired infrarenal abdominal coarctation in a 66-year-old woman who complained of low back and legs pain. She had no signs of resting lower limb ischemia, with diminished distal pulses and normal blood pressure in upper and lower extremities. Magnetic reso...
متن کاملLongitudinal deformation of drug-eluting stents: evaluation by multislice computed tomography.
BACKGROUND Some modifications introduced in the design of the new generation of drug-eluting stent (DES) to improve their flexibility may entail a reduction in their longitudinal strength. This study sought to evaluate the longitudinal deformation of DESs by multislice computed tomography (MSCT). METHODS This study included DESs that could have been potentially deformed by mechanical actions ...
متن کاملFabrication of Spiral Stent with Superelastic/ Shape Memory Nitinol Alloy for Femoral Vessel
Stent is a metal mesh tube for opening the obstructed vessels of the body. Ni-Ti alloy is a suitable metal for fabrication of stent due to its potential for applying the appropriate stress and strain to the vessel walls. In this study, super-elastic Nitinol wire was used to build stent samples usable to open femoral vessel. Ageing was performed at 500°C for different periods of time to determin...
