TI  - Structural Design of Vascular Stents: A Review.

AB  - Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is currently the most conventional and 
      effective method for clinically treating cardiovascular diseases such as 
      atherosclerosis. Stent implantation, as one of the ways of PCI in the treatment 
      of coronary artery diseases, has become a hot spot in scientific research with 
      more and more patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases. However, vascular 
      stent implanted into vessels of patients often causes complications such as 
      In-Stent Restenosis (ISR). The vascular stent is one of the sophisticated medical 
      devices, a reasonable structure of stent can effectively reduce the 
      complications. In this paper, we introduce the evolution, performance evaluation 
      standards, delivery and deployment, and manufacturing methods of vascular stents. 
      Based on a large number of literature pieces, this paper focuses on designing 
      structures of vascular stents in terms of "bridge (or link)" type, representative 
      volume unit (RVE)/representative unit cell (RUC), and patient-specific stent. 
      Finally, this paper gives an outlook on the future development of designing 
      vascular stents.
