Oligometastatic disease represents a clinical and anatomical manifestation between
localised and polymetastatic disease. In prostate cancer, as with other cancers, recognition …

Functional and mechanical properties of novel biomaterials must be carefully evaluated to
guarantee long-term biocompatibility and structural integrity of implantable medical devices …

Abstract An Fe–35 wt-% Mn alloy, aimed to be used as a metallic degradable biomaterial for
stent applications, was prepared via a powder metallurgy route. The effects of processing …

In this study a numerical model is developed to predict the effects of corrosion on the
mechanical integrity of bioabsorbable metallic stents. To calibrate the model, the effects of …

At present, the deployment of an intravascular stent has become a common and widely used
minimally invasive treatment for coronary heart disease. To improve these coronary …

In recent years, computational structural analyses have emerged as important tools to
investigate the mechanical response of stent placement into arterial walls. Although most …

Computational models of stent deployment in arteries have been widely used to shed light
on various aspects of stent design and optimisation. In this context, modelling of balloon …

INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive treatment approaches, like the implantation of
percutaneous stents, are becoming more popular every day for the treatment of intracranial …

A stent is a device designed to restore flow through constricted arteries. These tubular
scaffold devices are delivered to the afflicted region and deployed using minimally invasive …

The process of restenosis after a stenting procedure is related to local biomechanical
environment. Arterial wall stresses caused by the interaction of the stent with the vascular …
