Biomechanical insight of the stent-induced thrombosis following flow-diverting strategy in the management of complicated aortic aneurysms.

CONCLUSIONS: The formation of SIT after FDS implantation might protect the aneurysm by reducing the wall tensile stress and erasing the local stress concentration. Clinical follow-up data seems to support the biomechanical role of SIT, but a larger study cohort is needed. A comprehensive understanding of SIT including both biomechanical and biological perspectives are warranted to draw an exhaustive conclusion. PMID: 32594671 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
