Abstract:
The aim of this project was to investigate the fundamental idea of the possibility of anastomosing small blood vessels in microvascular transplant procedures by an individualized stent known from coronary angioplasty. We investigated the influence of length, dilation and differences in fabrication of the newly developed balloon-expandable stent on the tensile force of stented anastomoses. Various gripping devices were tested and validated to investigate how the length, dilatation and differences...     »
