Abstract: The speed and quality of stent/scaffold strut coverage by tissue are strongly impacted by strut thickness and shape, which influence shear stress and blood flow dynamics, affecting platelet accumulation and endothelial cell growth. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the short-term healing response
