چکیده

یکی از روش‌های درمان‌گرفتگی رگ، جایگذاری استنت خوداتساع در رگ می‌باشد،استفاده از آلیاژهای حافظه‌دار در ساخت استنت خوداتساع به دلیل خواص سوپرالاستیک این آلیاژ گسترش یافته است. در این مقاله با جایگذاری استنت آلیاژی حافظه‌دار در رگ، به بررسی میزان تنش و آسیب وارد به رگ توسط استنت در نرم‌افزار آباکوس پرداخته شده است. به منظور شبیه‌سازی رفتار رگ در این کار خواص غیرالاستیک رگ، که شامل نرم‌شدگی و تغییر شکل پایدار رگ می‌باشد، در نظر گرفته شده و به منظور شبیه‌سازی رفتار استنت از مدل ساختاری سوزا استفاده شده است. با استفاده از مدل آسیب که در این مقاله در نظر گرفته شده است میزان آسیب ایجادشده در رگ، که یکی از عوامل گرفتگی مجدد رگ است، بررسی شده است. در صورت استفاده از مدل هایپرالاستیک و بدون درنظرگرفتن آسیب ایجادشده در بافت رگ، بعد از برداشتن استنت تنش و کرنشی در رگ باقی نمی‌ماند و این نتیجه موجب خطا در پیش‌بینی رفتار رگ بعد از استنت‌گذاری می‌گردد. هم‌چنین در این مقاله از رگ با هندسه‌ی واقعی استفاده شده است، بدین وسیله تحلیل مطابقت بیشتری با واقعیت دارد و امکان تعیین نقاط بیشینه تنش و آسیب در رگ فراهم شده است.

چکیده [English]

One of the common methods to resolve artery stenosis is the insertion of a shape memory alloy stent in the artery. The use of shape memory alloys in the manufacturing of self-expandable stent has expanded because of the superelastic behavior of this alloy. In this paper, we simulated a shape memory alloy stent insertion in an artery to explore stress and damage effects arising from the stent insertion on the artery by using ABAQUS software. To simulate the mechanical behavior of artery, we considered the effect of the inelastic arterial properties (stress softening and recoverable inelastic deformation) that activated under supraphysiological loading in the stenting process, and to simulate stent behavior, the Souza model is used. These two models were applied in ABAQUS by UMAT codes. By using the damage model, the amount of damage in the artery, which is one of the factors of restenosis, is investigated. Also, in this paper, we have used real diseased artery geometry, which was specified from high-resolution magnetic resonance images, therefore the analysis is more in line with reality and it is possible to determine the location of the maximum stress and damage in the artery.
