Abstract:A simulation study of inhibiting the corrosion and corrosion-based restenosis is presented by diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin-film coating on bare-metallic intravascular stent models. The stents are designed and placed in a blood vessel model including a fatty-plaque layer in the study. 316L-stainless steel, CoCr-alloy, and nitinol are assigned to the stent models considering stent manufacturing. Modeled stents are coated with a carbon-based structure that mimics the DLC thin film. The electrochemical simulatio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
