Expansion characteristics of coronary stents in focal stenoses

The presented experimental in vitro approach was designed to assess the expansion behavior of stent systems in a resistant focal stenosis model with respect to a potential dog-boning effect. Five different stent systems (nominal diameter 3.0 mm) were investigated. The focal stenosis was simulated by...
