ABSTRACT
In this work, we investigate the effects of stent indentation on hemodynamic indicators in stented coronary arteries. Our aim is to assess in-silico risk factors for in-stent restenosis (ISR) and thrombosis after stent implantation. The proposed model is applied to an idealized artery with Xience V stent for four indentation percentages and three mesh refinements. We analyze the patterns of hemodynamic indicators arising from different stent indentations and propose an analysis of time-averaged WSS (TAWSS), topological shear variation index (TSVI), oscillatory shear index (OSI), and relative residence time (RRT). We observe that higher indentations display higher frequency of critically low TAWSS, high TSVI, and non-physiological OSI and RRT. Furthermore, an appropriate mesh refinement is needed for accurate representation of hemodynamics in the stent vicinity. The results suggest that disturbed hemodynamics could play a role in the correlation between high indentation and ISR.
