Figure 1.

Computational vessels implanted with 12, 14 or 16 mm stents consisting of 8 axial and circumferential repeating strut sections that were deployed using a stent-to-artery diameter convention of 1.2 to 1. The diameter of the native vessel for all simulations was 2.74 mm. The computational vessel implanted with the 16 mm stent was designated as the ideal stent length after implantation and the 14 and 12 mm stents represent progressive degrees of foreshortening.
