Predicted stent stresses and strains as a function of stent length—in single stents, strain is concentrated in the mid stent and this effect is enhanced in long stents (a, b). Overlap and stent-in-stent implantation results in the development of stress concentrations adjacent to the overlap site (c), with buckling type behavior that is enhanced adjacent to the stiffened overlapped regions.
