Abstract:
PURPOSE: To study the influence of a newly developed membrane stent design on flow patterns in a physiologic carotid artery model. METHODS: Three different stents were positioned in silicone models of the carotid artery: a stainless steel stent (Wall-stent), a nitinol stent (SelfX), and a nitinol stent with a semipermeable membrane (MembraX). To increase the contact area of the membrane with the vessel wall, another MembranX model was modified at the outflow tract. The membrane consists of a bio...     »
