Abstract

Normal blood flow in atherosclerotic arteries can be restored by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Cardiovascular stents play an important role in PTCA. However, studies on the biomechanical effects of cardiovascular stent materials on PTCA are lacking. In this study, we selected four cardiovascular stent materials of high clinical interest to evaluate their biomechanical effects on PTCA to provide vascular surgeons with additional tools for selecting cardiovascular stents. The results showed that the biomechanical effects of different materials of cardiovascular stents on PTCA were basically the same during the whole process of implantation of atherosclerotic arteries by different materials of cardiovascular stents. But there are some differences in quantitative analysis. In addition, the greater the difference in elastic modulus between different materials of cardiovascular stents, the greater the difference in biomechanical effects on PTCA.
