      Risks

        Patient & Prescribing Data

        Understanding mechanical environments can inform device and therapy development, such as optimizing stent design based on local hemodynamics.

        Clinical Best Practices

        • Include: 'Incorporate patient-specific mechanical assessments into treatment planning to enhance outcomes.'
