Conceptual framework

Improve stent geometry based on fluid dynamics

Context/horizon

General, 2008 a 2021

Theoretical currents

Computational fluid dynamics

Review strategy

Aggregative

Search criteria

Studies that treat and use fluid dynamic analysis in relation to coronary artery stents should be included and those that are not coronary artery stents (such as stents in the urethra for the treatment of strokes, etc.) and that did not use exclusively computational fluid dynamic analysis should be excluded (such as structural analysis)

Review question

Is it possible to improve coronary artery stent geometry based on CFD results?
