Stent implantation is the treatment of choice for cardiovascular diseases. By introduction of biodegradable thick strut stents investigations of thrombosis formation is one focus of research. This study deals with a transient Euler-Lagrange/DEM approach to simulate the flow field, platelet movement and clotting. The recirculation zones prolong particle residence time. As a result, the vicinity of stent struts shown a particularly higher risk for stent thrombosis.
