Ni-Ti合金血管支架结构设计与力学性能分析

Structural Design and Mechanical Properties Analysis of Ni-Ti Alloy Vascular Stents

  • 摘要: 目前介入式治疗成为心血管疾病治疗的首要措施,但现有血管支架仍存在径向支撑性能及柔顺性能不佳的问题。文章通过对冠状动脉血管支架结构进行分析研究,设计了WS、WC、WM、VU四种不同结构类型的新型Ni-Ti合金血管支架,并利用有限元分析方法对支架径向支撑性能、柔顺性能以及几何参数对WM支架径向支撑性能进行仿真分析。结果显示:WM型支架径向支撑力最大、应力值最小、弯曲刚度最小、结构最优;随着支架厚度、周向单元数、初始直径的增大,径向支撑性能会变好,但柔顺性能会变差,同时可能导致支架自接触以及血管损伤等问题。所研究内容为新型血管支架结构设计提供了参考,对于推动心血管疾病治疗有积极意义。

     

    Abstract: The interventional therapy has become the primary measure in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, but the current vascular stents still suffer from poor radial support performance and pliability. By analyzing and studying the structure of coronary vascular stents, four new Ni-Ti alloy vascular stents with different structural types, WS, WC, WM and VU were designed in this paper, and the radial support performance of the designed stents, the suppleness performance, and the geometrical parameter to the radial support performance of the WM stents were simulated and analyzed by using the finite element analysis method. The results show that the WM type stent has the largest radial support force, the smallest stress value, and the smallest bending stiffness, which is structurally optimal; as the stent thickness, the number of circumferential units, and the initial diameter increase, the radial support performance becomes better, but the same will bring disadvantages such as poorer suppleness, stent self-contact, and damage to the blood vessels. This study provides a reference for the design of novel vascular stent structures, which is of positive significance for promoting the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
