چکیده

Particles released in the coronary arteries or a carotid artery during interventions such as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (ptca) can cause complications such as occlusions of small vessels or capillaries, leading to micro embolisations and increasing the risk of the no-reflow phenomenon. The aim is to develop and implement simulated use testing methods and to analyse mechanisms and consequences of particle release of drug eluting balloons and stents.
