Parametric optimization of the femoropopliteal artery stent design based on numerical analysis [PDF]
High-failure rates of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) stenting were reported due to the inability of certain stent strut configuration to accommodate severe biomechanical environment of the Femoro-Popliteal Artery (FPA) such as bends, twists, and ...

Investigating the flow dynamics in the obstructed and stented ureter by means of a biomimetic artificial model. [PDF]
Double-J stenting is the most common clinical method employed to restore the upper urinary tract drainage, in the presence of a ureteric obstruction. After implant, stents provide an immediate pain relief by decreasing the pressure in the renal pelvis (P)

Inhibition of in-stent stenosis by oral administration of bindarit in porcine coronary arteries [PDF]
<p><b>Objective:</b> We have previously demonstrated that bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs), is effective in reducing neointimal formation in rodent models of vascular injury by reducing smooth ...
