摘要:
Stent intervention has become one of the most effective ways in treating cardiac and cerebral vascular stenosis. However, postoperative in-stent restenosis remains a major unsettled issue. The occurrence of in-stent restenosis is related not only to the mismatch between stent and artery, as well as the stress induced by mechanical support of the stent struts on arterial wall, but also to the intimal hyperplasia induced by the hemodynamic change. Recent literatures on biomechanics of the stented artery were reviewed in this paper. In particular, from the view of solid mechanics and hemodynamics, the research progress of stented artery in biomechanical simulation was given detailed discussion; moreover, the biomechanical factors associated with in-stent restenosis were analyzed and summarized. Numerical simulation is a good method for investigating the relationship between stent intervention and in-stent restenosis, and it also provides a scientific guideline for the design of stent structure and clinical procedure of stent intervention.
