Stents play a critical role in modern cardiovascular treatment by restoring blood flow in obstructed arteries without the need for invasive surgery. Once deployed, these tiny mesh tubes help keep the artery open, preventing future blockages. Understanding how blood behaves within these vessels is essential not just for mechanical performance, but also for improving drug delivery through drug-eluting stents.
In this study, advanced simulation techniques were used to model blood flow dynamics and analyze drug diffusion patterns from the stent into the arterial walls. The simulation results were validated with published research to ensure accuracy and reliability. Download the full case study to explore the modeling approach, insights, and results in detail.
