Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

I have reviewed the article written by Yizhe Chen et Al. The work entitled Deformation and Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis for Intervention Process of Coronary Vascular Stent presents a numerical approach of stent deformation using the finite element method and fluid-structure interaction. The aim of the study is to analyse stresses and to locate sensitive sections of stent. The final purpose of the paper is to be a complementary aid-support for clinical problematic deformities of coronary artery stents.

Major comments:

The bibliographical section is incomplete and has to be reviewed. Indeed, for instance, some relevant papers exploring this research field are not presented, such as :

Minor comments:

·         Blood is considered a Newtonian fluid but is not. A lot of numerical simulations take as if. It is important to quote a couple of them.

·         For a better understanding use either vessel walls or vascular walls, it is not obvious at first glance.
