Vessel scaffolding (computational vs. experimental). Vessel scaffolding was expressed by circular cell diameter (CCD). (a) CCD across different stent designs and plaque types revealed that 12-peak MEGATRON had significantly better scaffolding than the other stent designs, (b) 12-peak MEGATRON expanded to 4.5 mm across different homogeneous and heterogeneous plaque material had smaller CCD (better scaffolding) compared to the other stent designs, (c) CCD of 12-peak MEGATRON across different stent diameters and plaque materials revealed that smaller diameter stents had better scaffolding than larger stents, (d) Computational and experimental CCD was comparable across all MEGATRON stent designs; M12: MEGATRON 12-peak, M10: MEGATRON 10-peak, M9: MEGATRON 9-peak.
