Cardiovascular Stent Design

# Cardiovascular Stent - Design and Analysis I simulated the recoil percentage, maximum stresses due to balloon expansion, and residual stresses on a stent design using unique materials. The materials evaluated for consideration included Nickel Titanium Alloy and Stainless-Steel Alloys. The design shown was "Derived from Open Stent Design, Craig Bonsignore, Nitinol Devices & Components (NDC)". I optimized it to: - Minimize recoil percentage - Mitigate maximum stresses induced by balloon expansion - control residual stresses, ensuring long-term structural integrity and biocompatibility. Recoil percentage impacts lumen patency, while excessive expansion stress and residual stress affect structural integrity and fatigue resistance. By leveraging unique materials tailored for superior mechanical and biological performance, I systematically optimized the stent's geometry and material properties to enhance deployment efficiency and patient outcomes. This innovative approach combined cutting-edge computational techniques with material science, resulting in a high-performance stent design tailored to meet critical cardiovascular challenges.
