Résumé
Self-expandable stents manufactured from nitinol alloys are commonly utilized alongside traditional balloon-expandable stents to provide scaffolding to stenosed arteries. However, a significant limitation hampering stent efficacy is restenosis, triggered by neointimal hyperplasia and resulting in the loss of gain in lumen size, post-intervention. In this study, a nonlinear finite element model was developed to simulate stent crimping and expansion and its interaction with the surrounding vessel in the presence of a plaque. The main aim was to determine contact pressures and forces induced at the interface between an artery wall with hypocellular and calcified plaques and an expanded stent. The results demonstrated the drawbacks of plaque calcification, which triggered a sharp contact pressure and radial force surge at the interface as well as a significant rise in von Mises stress within the vessel, potentially leading to rupture and restenosis. A regression line was then established to relate hypocellular and calcified plaques. The adjusted coefficient of determination indicated a good correlation between contact pressures for calcified and hypocellular plaque models. Regarding the directionality of wall properties, contact pressure and force observations were not significantly different between isotropic and anisotropic arteries. Moreover, variations in friction coefficients did not substantially affect the interfacial contact pressures.
