Influence of Stent Flexibility on Artery Wall Stress and Wall Shear Stress in Bifurcation Lesions

PURPOSE: Stent flexibility can influence clinical outcome, especially in bifurcation lesions. For instance, an overly rigid stent can impose mechanical stress on the artery at the stent edges and alter both arterial geometry and blood flow dynamics in bifurcations. This study investigated the influe...
