Abstract
A method for additive manufacturing of a medical stent includes generating, by a processor (152) executing instructions, a model of anatomy of a subject; obtaining a computer (140)-aided design (CAD) model of a stent; simulating deployment of the stent in the anatomy of the subject; determining whether the model of the stent satisfies an optimization metric based on the simulating, and optimizing the model of the stent by repeating obtaining and the simulating until the model of the stent satisfies the optimization metric. The stent is manufactured by additive manufacturing in response to the model of the stent being optimized.

A method for additive manufacturing of a medical stent, comprising:
- generating, by a processor executing instructions, a model of anatomy of a subject;
- obtaining a computer aided design (CAD) model of a stent;
- simulating deployment of the stent in the anatomy of the subject;
- determining whether the model of the stent satisfies an optimization metric based on the simulating, and
- optimizing the model of the stent by adjusting a characteristic of the model of the stent and repeating the obtaining and the simulating until the model of the stent satisfies the optimization metric, wherein the stent is manufactured by additive manufacturing in response to the model of the stent being optimized.
A tangible non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores a computer program, wherein the computer program, in response to being executed by a processor, causes a system to:
- generate a model of anatomy of a subject;
- obtain a computer aided design (CAD) model of a stent;
- simulate deployment of the stent in the anatomy of the subject;
- determine whether the model of the stent satisfies an optimization metric based on simulating deployment of the stent, and
- optimize the model of the stent by adjusting a characteristic of the model of the stent and repeating obtaining the model of the stent and simulating blood flow through the stent until the model of the stent satisfies the optimization metric, wherein the stent is manufactured by additive manufacturing in response to the model of the stent being optimized.
