Restenosis typically occurs in regions of low and oscillating wall shear stress which also favours the accumulation of atherogenic macromolecules such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL). This study aims to determine how stent strut design may affect in-stent restenosis at the carotid artery bifurcati...
