Coronary artery lipid accumulation prevention through vibrating piezo electric nano plates embedded in smart stent.

Considering the lipid concentration and side effects regarding the stents used by surgeons, a new heart stent model is proposed. In the new stent, a few piezo plates are designed and attached to the stents by which release of the lipids can take place due to the applied alternative voltages. Due to the vibrations of small-scale piezoelectric plates, the deposition of low-density-lipoproteins (LDL) floating in the blood flow in the coronary arteries is prevented. Small-scale effects are considered using nonlocal elasticity theory, and the interaction between fluid and solid is modeled using the Navier-Stokes equation. The effect of fluid parameters as well as applied voltage and geometry structure is reported. Developing of smart stents maybe the key for prevention of short time conventional stents failure.
