Cardiovascular diseases are the most distributed cause of death worldwide. Stenting of
arteries as a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty procedure became a promising …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) has been reported to be a major cause of death worldwide.
Current treatment methods include atherectomy, coronary angioplasty (as a percutaneous …

Synthetic bioabsorbable polymers, such as poly-lactic acid (PLA) and its copolymers (PLA-
based polymers), have attracted a lot of attention in the medical field. With their excellent …

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and subsequent vascular scaffold
implantation remains the prevalent invasive treatment of coronary heart disease. In-stent …

Background Patients with deep venous disease can be classified into two distinct
categories: those with disease resulting from known deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which may …

This study is dealt with the two-phase binding (specific and nonspecific) of drug eluted from
a half-embedded drug-eluting stent in presence of atherosclerotic plaque. The specific …

Vascular stent is tubular shaped medical device designed to treat occluded circulatory or
digestive systems by opening the blocked vascular sites. Originally stents were made of …

The present investigation deals with the effects of biodegradable, biodurable and polymer-
free coating of a stent on the release mechanism of the drug in a porous medium. The …

Drug eluting stents (DES) have shown efficacy in reducing restenosis after angioplasty
followed by application of a coronary stent. However, polymer matrices typically used for …

This work aims to study numerical methods for systems of partial differential equations
(PDEs) that arise in light-controlled drug delivery. Because of its noninvasive nature, ease of …
