What is an Express stent?
The Express® LD Iliac Stent System is a premounted balloon- expandable stent made of 316L stainless steel, has a unique patented stent design known as Tandem Architecture, and is the only commercially available balloon-expandable stent in the United States with an iliac indication.*
What is premounted stent?
The Express LD Iliac Premounted Stent System consists of: 316L surgical grade stainless steel balloon expandable stent. The stent is premounted on a Stent Delivery System (SDS) equipped with a non compliant balloon. The SDS has two radiopaque balloon markers embedded in the shaft to aid in the placement of the stent.
Does Medtronic make stents?
Coronary Stents – Cardiovascular Products | Medtronic.
Does Boston Scientific make stents?
Boston Scientific now offers a portfolio of SYNERGY BP Stents designed to optimize performance and enable early healing in every type of case.
Are renal artery stents MRI safe?
The Express SD Renal Stent has been shown to be MR safe at field strength of 3 Tesla (T) or less, and a maximum whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of . 0 W/kg for 5 minutes of MR imaging.
What is the iliac artery?
The iliac arteries are blood vessels that provide blood to the legs, pelvis, reproductive organs and other organs in the pelvic area.
What are the best stents?
Multi-Link Vision™ has been the leading BMS in the U.S. since its introduction. It is constructed of a cobalt-chromium alloy that is more radiopaque than stainless steel stents. This alloy is also stronger than stainless steel, which allows stent construction to be much thinner while still retaining its strength.
What are Medtronic stents made of?
Usually made of metal mesh, they’re put into arteries in a procedure called a percutaneous coronary intervention or, its more common name, angioplasty. First-generation stents were made of bare metal (Non Medicated).
How do self expandable stents work?
Nitinol stents are manufactured to a size slightly larger than the target vessel size and delivered constrained in a delivery system. After deployment, they position themselves against the vessel wall with a low, “chronic” outward force. They resist outside forces with a significantly higher radial resistive force.
Do magnets affect stents?
Conclusion: The magnetic force on the investigated paramagnetic stents is even smaller than the gravitational force acting on the stents in the Earth’s gravity field, so that it has no physiological impact on the stented vessels.
Which is the best stent?
A drug-eluting stent is the most common type of stent used to treat a blockage of the heart arteries. Many people with heart problems have been successfully treated with drug-eluting stents, preventing the need for more-invasive procedures, such as coronary artery bypass surgery.
