Mechanical simulation of SKS deployment. A, Virtual SKS deployment sequence of two Resolute Integrity™ stents at 9 atm (nominal pressure) in an idealized coronary bifurcation without disease: insertion (top), expansion (center), and recoil after balloon deflation (bottom). B, Quantification of stent strut malapposition. C, Arterial wall stress (computed as maximum principal stress) induced by SKS. D, Stent stress (computed as von Mises stress) after SKS
