Atherosclerosis is a cardiovascular disease predominantly affecting older individuals in Western countries. It consists of a progressive chronic inflammation of the arterial walls, culminating in the formation of plaques with thickening of the intima and narrowing, or even occlusion, of the lumen. This may result in reduced blood supply downstream of the lesion, with risks of necrosis, ischemia, and myocardial infarction. A fairly common and efficient method to treat this condition is percutaneous coronary intervention, a minimally invasive revascularization technique, with stent implantation. In detail, stent is a hollow cylindrical device with a metal/polymeric mesh structure that, thanks to its mechanical properties, helps keep the vessel open, counteracting stenosis and restoring a stable physiological lumen diameter for normal blood flow.
