Aim To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 novel drug-eluting stents (DES) with
biodegradable polymer-based coatings versus a durable coating DES. Methods and Results …

Coronary stent designs have undergone significant transformations in geometry, materials,
and drug elution coatings, contributing to the continuous improvement of stenting success …

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death globally. Research over recent
decades has greatly increased understanding of the pathophysiology of this condition and …

The main goal of this numerical study is to assess the impact of geometric design
perturbations on the performance of a representative coronary stent platform. In this context …
