Multiphysical Modeling of Soft Tissue-Stent Interaction

International Conference on Computational Methods for Coupled Problems in Science and Engineering (COUPLED PROBLEMS)

Abstract

The prevalence of in-stent restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention necessitates the development of computational tools to derive pathophysiological inferences and finetune interventional procedures patient-specifically. In this context, a multiphysics framework is presented herein that captures the chemo-mechano-biological interaction involved. Strategies that could potentially accelerate the computations as well as add versatility to them are shortly discussed. We hence take a minute step towards enabling computer-assisted clinical practices.
