ArXiv·2026

Optimizing coronary stent design using automated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and shape optimization can improve hemodynamic performance. Stents with an approximately 40-degree intrastrut angle minimize low wall shear stress (WSS) areas, potentially enhancing clinical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular engineering
  • Biomedical fluid dynamics
  • Medical device design

Background:

  • Coronary stent design significantly impacts near-wall hemodynamics, influencing endothelialization, neointimal hyperplasia, and restenosis.
  • Previous studies utilized limited geometries, hindering comprehensive optimization of stent designs for reduced hemodynamic alterations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated methodology coupling computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and 3D shape optimization for coronary stent design.
  • To identify optimal stent cell configurations that minimize adverse hemodynamic effects.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a fully automated workflow for solid model construction, mesh generation, CFD simulation, and wall shear stress (WSS) quantification.
  • Applied the optimization framework to determine the optimal number of stent cells (N(C)) for slotted-tube stents.

  • Defined optimal designs based on minimizing the area of low intrastrut time-averaged WSS.

    • Main Results:

    • The optimal number of stent cells (N(C)) was found to be dependent on the intrastrut angle.
    • Stent designs featuring an intrastrut angle of approximately 40 degrees consistently minimized the area of low time-averaged WSS.
    • This finding held true across various stent diameters and intrastrut areas.

    Conclusions:

    • An automated CFD and shape optimization approach can effectively refine coronary stent designs.
    • An intrastrut angle of approximately 40 degrees appears to be a key geometric feature for improving hemodynamic performance.
    • This optimization method holds potential for developing next-generation stents with improved clinical outcomes.
