Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effects of changing the Nitinol stent’s geometrical characteristics on the superelastic behavior of the stent using the finite element method. Four different geometrical parameters were considered and analyzed in sixteen stents. These geometrical parameters consisted of stent length, number of stent’s meanders, inside diameter of the stent and wire diameter. Results showed that decreasing either stent length or the number of stent meanders and increasing either the inside diameter of the stent or wire diameter generally result in more sensible superelastic behavior exposure. The effect of changing stent length is independent of the inside diameter and number of the stent’s meanders. Effects of changing inside diameter and number of stent's meanders were exactly dependent together. In addition, increasing wire diameter has a great effect on the maximum force. In conclusion, the results of this study may serve as guidelines for future stent design.
