A sutureless aortic stent-graft based on a nitinol scaffold bonded to a compliant nanocomposite polymer is durable for 10 years in a simulated in vitro model.
PURPOSE: To physiologically test the durability of a sutureless aortic stent-graft based on nitinol bonded to polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and poly(carbonate-urea) urethane (PCU) for 10 years according to Food and Drug Administration guidelines. METHODS: Aortic stent-grafts (n = 4) w...
