Abstract:
Objective To deduce analytic solution of the displacement and stress distributions for the coronary stent based on reasonable assumptions, and to investigate the influence from the wave number of support bars on stress distributions by combining the results of finite element analysis. Methods A local cylindrical coordinate system was established to deduce analytical solution of the displacement and stress components of the periodic support bar of the rectangular-wave type vascular stent under vascular systolic pressure. The support bar model was established by using ANSYS, to calculate the numerical results of stress analysis. By analyzing the consistency of stress curves obtained from the two methods, the accuracy and applicability of analytical solutions were verified. The influence from the number of wave crests for support bars on the stress under systolic pressure was investigated by analytic solution. Results The analytical stress curves were basically in conformity with those from the ANSYS results. When the number of wave crests was 6, there were both tensile and compressive stresses in circumferential direction of the cross bar. Conclusions When the number of wave crests was 6, such stents could effectively prevent restenosis in blood vessels during working. The derived analytical solution could be used to analyze mechanical properties of one-cycle support bars of rectangular-wave type stent, and the research findings provided a new idea to further recognize and study the stress distributions on coronary stent to reduce the restenosis rate of interventional therapy.
