NUMERICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE FLEXIBILITY OF INTRAVASCULAR BRAIDED STENT
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Braided stents are commonly used to treat cerebral aneurysm, but there is little information about the bending characteristic of braided stent used for cerebral aneurysm. This paper investigates how geometrical parameters of braided stent influence its flexibility. Eight groups of braided stent models with different geometries (i.e., nominal diameter, length, braiding angle, number of wires, diameter of wire, frictional coefficient among wires and porosity) were constructed. Parametric analyses of these models were carried out by using Abaqus/Explicit. When the nominal diameter varied from 2[Formula: see text]mm to 5.5[Formula: see text]mm, the forces required for flexural deformation decrease from [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]N to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]N; when the axial length varied from 10[Formula: see text]mm to 40[Formula: see text]mm, the forces required for flexural deformation decrease from [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]N to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]N; when the braiding angle increases from 30[Formula: see text] to 75[Formula: see text] (the number of wires is 48 and the diameter of the wire is 0.026[Formula: see text]mm), the forces required for bending deformation decrease from [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]N to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]N; when the diameter of wires increases from 0.026[Formula: see text]mm to 0.052[Formula: see text]mm (the number of wires is 24 and the braiding angle is 60[Formula: see text]), the forces required for flexural deformation increase from [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]N to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]N; and when the number of wires increases from 14 to 48 (the braiding angle is 75[Formula: see text] and the diameter of the wire is 0.026[Formula: see text]mm), the forces required for flexural deformation increase from [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]N to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]N. From the data above it can be seen that the diameter of wires, the number of wires and braiding angle have a larger impact on bending characteristics of braided stent; and the axial length and nominal diameter have a smaller impact on bending characteristics of braided stent. Results of the present study may provide theoretical guidance for the design of self-expanding braided stent and its clinical practice.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
