Objective:　To　investigate　the　mechanical　effect　of　stents　with　different　links　on　the　treatment　of　vertebral　artery　stenosis,　and　provide　scientific　guidelines　for　the　design　of　stent　structure　and　clinical　procedure　of　stenting　intervention.　Methods:　Models　of　three　kinds　of　stents　with　different　types　of　links　(namely,　L-stent,　V-stent　and　S-stent　according　to　the　shape　of　links)　and　vertebral　artery　with　stenosis　were　established　by　using　Pro/Engineering,　then　the　same　boundary　conditions　were　exerted　on　the　three　models　to　simulate　the　stent　deployed　in　the　vertebral　artery　by　finite　element　analysis　using　ABAQUS.　Results:　Compared　with　L-stent　and　V-stent,　S-stent　had　a　better　compliance,　generating　smaller　stress　in　the　arterial　wall,　causing　relatively　weak　vascular　straightening.　Due　to　smaller　stress　and　axial　shortening　generated　in　the　stent　strut,　S-stent　made　less　lesion　on　the　arterial　wall.　Conclusions:　The　therapeutic　effect　of　S-stent　is　the　best　among　the　three　kinds　of　stents,　which　could　reduce　in-stent-restenosis,　and　has　good　prospect　in　clinical　application.
