Perforator infarction represents a critical problem after intracranial Wingspan stent. To explore the mechanism of perforator infarction, we simulated the stent-artery interaction at an atheromatous plaque with perforator. Structural deformation and biomechanical stress distribution after stenting were analyzed. High radial stress values were located along the stent struts, which surrounded the area with high circumferential stress. Stretched perforator orifice in a circumferential direction after stenting was simulated. These results show that structural deformation could play a role in the mechanism of perforator occlusion after Wingspan stenting.
