Applying the "stent net" concept to model drug elution from stents.
Discussing extensions for biodegradable stent analysis.

Main Results:

Dimensional model reduction provides a comprehensive geometrical and physical description at reduced computational cost.
Drug-eluting stents are modeled as concentrated drug release sources on a graph representing stent geometry.
The "stent net" approach is adaptable for biodegradable stent mechanics and drug release.

Conclusions:

Dimensional model reduction offers an efficient and effective approach for analyzing stent mechanics and drug release.
This methodology facilitates the design and optimization of advanced stent technologies, including drug-eluting and biodegradable variants.
