In-vivo imaging of femoral artery nitinol stents for deformation analysis.
J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2011; (2): 244-9
The authors have developed a direct method to study femoral artery stent deformations in vivo. A previously described imaging and analysis approach based on a calibrated phantom was used to examine stents in human volunteers treated for atherosclerotic disease. In this pilot study, forces on stents were evaluated under different in-vivo flexion conditions.
