Axial stent strut angle influences wall shear stress after stent implantation: analysis using 3D computational fluid dynamics models of stent foreshortening

Does axial stent strut angle influence wall shear stress and risk of neointimal hyperplasia after stent implantation?

Computational modeling suggests that stent foreshortening alters axial strut angle and wall shear stress, potentially increasing the risk of neointimal hyperplasia.
