Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of a Novel Stent Geometry for Carotid Artery Stenosis.
Eric Rytkin
Abstract :
Aim
The aim of this research was to perform Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis of a novel auxetic stent.
Materials and Methods
Numerical results of velocity and wall shear stress were retrieved. From that the conclusion of auxetic stent interference on the blood flow was drawn.
Results
Without a stent, minimal wall shear stress was 6.14395e–03 [Pa] and maximal 3.58595 [Pa]. Blood flow velocity was minimum 9.43298e–08 [m/s] and maximum 0.224575 [m/s]. With a stent placed in the internal carotid artery, minimal shear stress was 4.494e–013 [Pa] and maximal 1.695e+001 [Pa]. Blood flow velocity with stent in place was minimum 0 [m/s] and maximum 6.634e–001 [m/s].
Conclusion
The auxetic stent has the potential to reduce the rate of restenosis and improve the quality of life among patients with carotid artery stenosis
