Abstract
Stent implantation is the treatment of choice for cardiovascular diseases. By introduction of biodegradable thick strut stents investigations of thrombosis formation is one focus of research. This study deals with a transient Euler-Lagrange/DEM approach to simulate the flow field, platelet movement and clotting. The recirculation zones prolong particle residence time. As a result, the vicinity of stent struts shown a particularly higher risk for stent thrombosis.
