To　investigate　the　effect　of　endovascular　stents　with　different　links　on　treating　stenotic　vertebral　artery.　Three　kinds　of　stent　with　different　links　(L-stent,　V-stent　and　S-stent　respectively)　and　idealized　stenotic　vertebral　artery　were　established.　The　deployment　procedure　of　stent　in　the　stenotic　artery　and　hemodynamics　based　on　the　deformed　models　were　simulated.　S-stent　comparatively　features　better　flexibility　the　smallest　foreshortening,　inducing　smaller　stress　in　the　stent　strut,　as　well　as　smaller　stress　generated　in　the　arterial　wall;　L-stent　comparatively　causes　smaller　area　of　low　wall　shear　stress,　less　blood　stagnation　area　and　better　blood　flow　close　to　the　artery　wall.　From　the　view　point　of　combination　of　solid　mechanics　and　hemodynamics,　S-stent　has　better　therapeutic　effect　because　of　its　lower　potential　possibility　of　inducing　ISR,　and　better　prospects　in　clinical　application　than　L-stent　and　V-stent.　©　(2014)　Trans　Tech　Publications,　Switzerland.
