Abstrakt: Heart diseases such as coronary artery is one of the main cause of death nowadays. When the coronary artery disease is severe, surgical methods can be the only choice of treatment. Surgical methods for this treatment involves the deployment of stent inside the damaged artery. A stent is a small mesh tube that is used to treat narrow or weak arteries. Stent will be inserted through blood vessels using guide catheter and then deployed in the narrowed area of coronary artery. The stent stays inside the coronary artery to maintain the blood flow by pushing out the narrowed artery and holds it still. A good design of stent is crucial, if there is any flaw in stent design the stent might fail inside the blood vessel. Finite element analysis is very effective for experimenting stents because it has a good accuracy and low cost experiment. In this work, the bifurcation stenting were analyzed. Multi-link Frontier stent was used for bifurcation stenting. The results of the experiment show that, by using the coupling boundary condition on the tip of diamond shaped stent, the simulation becomes more realistic than the uncoupled simulation. And for the Multi-link Frontier, opening area ratio of human autopsy sample, porcine heart model, manufacturer data, and finite element analysis has good similarity among each other.
