Crimping and deployment of metallic and polymeric stents - finite element modelling

Aim: This paper aims to compare the mechanical performance of metallic (Xience) and bioresorbable polymeric (Elixir) stents during the process of crimping and deployment. Methods: Finite element software ABAQUS was used to create the geometrical models and meshes for the balloon, stent and diseased...
