A Stent is small expandable mesh-tube like device that is used to treat narrow arteries and allow the passage of oxygenated blood to heart. The aim of this study is to provide a computational approach for evaluating the effect of Stent materials on bio-mechanical results and the deployment of Stents in different conditions.

Respiratory complication is one of the common causes of death‚ and my grandfather passed away from aspiration pneumonia couple years ago. Although we inadvertently breath air for granted‚ I observed many patients who had a difficulty breathing like my grandfather while shadowing a physician in ICU. Some of them had a lung surgery‚ while others were able to recover from a minimally invasive procedure using bronchoscopy.
