Macro- and microscale variables regulate stent haemodynamics, fibrin deposition and thrombomodulin expression

Drug eluting stents are associated with late stent thrombosis (LST), delayed healing and prolonged exposure of stent struts to blood flow. Using macroscale disturbed and undisturbed fluid flow waveforms, we numerically and experimentally determined the effects of microscale model strut geometries up...
