Abstract
This study investigates NiTi-CoCr hybrid carotid artery stents to enhance mechanical properties over NiTi-only designs. Different configurations (24NiTi, 20NiTi-4CoCr, 16NiTi-8CoCr, and 12NiTi-12CoCr) were evaluated through radial compression and bending simulations. The 12NiTi-12CoCr stent showed the highest radial support (39.37 N) and increased bending strength by 77.96%. When modeled in a stenotic artery, this stent reduced stenosis from 81.52% to 29.33% and improved blood flow dynamics, alleviating high-pressure zones and balancing wall shear stress. These results suggest that CoCr wires improve stent performance, with the 12NiTi-12CoCr stent offering significant biomechanical and hemodynamic benefits.
期刊介绍:
The primary aims of Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering are to provide a means of communicating the advances being made in the areas of biomechanics and biomedical engineering and to stimulate interest in the continually emerging computer based technologies which are being applied in these multidisciplinary subjects. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering will also provide a focus for the importance of integrating the disciplines of engineering with medical technology and clinical expertise. Such integration will have a major impact on health care in the future.
