Description
A stent is a mesh-like structure deployed in constricted blood vessels. It plays a crucial role in the treatment of various cardiovascular diseases by providing mechanical support to arteries and restoring uninterrupted blood flow. One of key factors for the long-term success of this procedure is the precise deployment of the stent within the vessel, particularly in cases of asymmetric occlusions. In this work, we propose a simplified model based on the independent ring model for the vessel and couple it with the stent model considered as a network of rods using a one-dimensional curved elastic rod model. We establish the existence of solutions for the proposed model and present numerical simulations to demonstrate its applicability.
