Computational hemodynamic analysis of idealized coronary arteries with cylindrical and conical stents
The findings confirm that neglecting arterial compliance (CFD only) leads to a substantial underestimation of hemodynamic risk. Both stent geometry and strut thickness are critical; while conical stents offer better risk distribution, thicker struts can negate these benefits. Optimizing these parameters is essential for next-generation stent designs.
