A Fast Method of Virtual Stent Graft Deployment for Computer Assisted EVAR [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Biomechanics for Medicine, Springer International Publishing, pp.147-169, 2020, 2021
In this paper we introduce a new method simulating stent graft deployment for assisting endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The method relies on intraoperative images coupled with mechanical models. A multi-step algorithm has been developed to increase the reliability of simulations.

Premature Discontinuation of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Coronary Stenting in Veterans: Characteristics and Long‐Term Outcomes

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Premature discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention is related to higher short‐term risks of adverse outcomes. Whether these risks persist in the long‐term is uncertain. Methods and Results We

In silico modeling for personalized stenting in aortic coarctation [PDF]

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2022, 16: 2056-2073, 2022
Stent intervention is a recommended therapy to reduce the pressure gradient and restore blood flow for patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA). In this work, we developed a framework for personalized stent intervention in CoA using in silico modeling, combining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and image-based prediction of the geometry of the ...

Microscale stress-geometry interactions in an additively manufactured NiTi cardiovascular stent: A synchrotron dual imaging tomography and diffraction study [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials Characterization 213 (2024) 114016, 2023
This study explores cardiovascular stents fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF); an emerging method to offer patient-specific customisable parts. Here, the shape memory alloy NiTi, in a near equiatomic composition, was investigated to deconvolve the material response from macroscopic component effects.

Investigations into the characterization, degradation, and applications of biodegradable polymers by mass spectrometry

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Biodegradable polymers have been getting more and more attention because of their contribution to the plastic pollution environmental issues and to move towards a circular economy. Nevertheless, biodegradable materials still exhibit various disadvantages restraining a widespread use in the market.

A Synopsis of Stent Graft Technology Development [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Treatments have evolved, with stenting becoming the primary approach over bypass surgery. This article reviews the evolution of coronary stent technology, starting from the first angioplasty in 1977. Pioneers like Forssmann, Dotter, and Gruentzig established the foundation.

The Road to the Ideal Stent: A Review of Stent Design Optimisation Methods, Findings, and Opportunities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Coronary stent designs have undergone significant transformations in geometry, materials, and drug elution coatings, contributing to the continuous improvement of stenting success over recent decades. However, the increasing use of percutaneous coronary intervention techniques on complex coronary artery disease anatomy continues to be a challenge and ...
