Effect of different structural parameters of filter rod on mechanical properties of new vena cava filter

The dynamic analysis of the implantation process of a new vena cava filter was carried out by finite element analysis method to reveal the influence of the angle, length, width and thickness of the filter rod on its mechanical properties and the inner wall of the blood vessel. The results showed that the high-stress and high-strain areas of the filter were mainly concentrated in the connection between the filter rod and the filter wire. With the increase of the angle of the filter rod, the maximum equivalent stress and the maximum elastic strain on the filter wall decreased, while the maximum equivalent stress on the vascular wall increased. With the increase of the length of the filter rod, the maximum equivalent stress and strain peak of the filter wall increased, but the maximum equivalent stress of the vessel wall decreased. With the increase of the width and thickness of the filter rod, the maximum equivalent stress of the filter wall, the maximum elastic strain and the maximum equivalent stress of the v
