| Abstract | Nitinol stent oversizing in peripheral arteries is frequently performed by clinicians to ensure a desirable lumen gain and prevent stent migration. However, the increased radial force exerted onto the artery walls by the stents could lead to significant arterial damage and restenosis. With clinical studies reporting contradictory findings1,2 on the subject and numerical studies being performed exclusively with balloon-expandable stents and on non-calcified arterial models, the mechanical impact of stent oversizing remains poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this study was to quantify the effects of gradual stent oversizing in calcified and non-calcified peripheral arteries. |
