Influence of Plaque Characteristics on Stent Biomechanical Outcomes - A Case Study on Double Kissing Crush Coronary Stenting
Andrea Colombo, Dario Carbonarob, Mingzi Zhang +5
Background Double Kissing (DK) Crush is a two-stent technique for complex coronary bifurcation lesions, yet the biomechanical influence of plaque on its performance remains poorly…
Are Ultrathin Stents Optimal for Bifurcation Lesions? Insights from Computational Modelling of Provisional and DK-Crush Techniques
Andrea Colombo, Dario Carbonaro, Mingzi Zhang +7
Complex coronary bifurcation lesions remain challenging in percutaneous coronary intervention, with stent design and deployment strategy influencing clinical outcomes. This study c…
Mechanistic Insights Into How Rewiring and Bifurcation Angle Affect DK-Crush Stent Deployment
Andrea Colombo, Dario Carbonaro, Mingzi Zhang +4
Background Double Kissing Crush (DKC) is a preferred two-stent technique for complex coronary bifurcation lesions. Proximal cell rewiring is routinely recommended to reduce technic…
Reliability of characterising coronary artery flow with the flow-split outflow strategy: comparison against the multiscale approach
Mingzi Zhang, Hamed Keramati, Ramtin Gharleghi +1
In computational modelling of coronary haemodynamics, imposing patient-specific flow conditions is paramount, yet often impractical due to resource and time constraints, limiting t…
High-Intensity Helical Flow: A Double-Edged Sword in Coronary Artery Haemodynamics
Chi Shen, Mingzi Zhang, Hamed Keramati +2
The role of Helical Flow (HF) in human coronary arteries remains uncertain, yet its understanding promises unprecedented insights into atherosclerotic processes. In this study, we…
