In situ cooling with ice water for the easier removal of self-expanding nitinol stents
BACKGROUND It is yet to be determined what effects temperature has on the properties of nitinol in order to simplify the process of removing nitinol self-expanding metal stents (SEMS). MATERIALS AND METHODS We describe the procedure for removal of SEMS in a total of 11 cases with 9 patients. A study involving cooling of nitinol stents in situ with ice water just before their removal was attem...
متن کاملUtility of CT angiography and MR angiography for the follow-up of experimental aneurysms treated with stents or Guglielmi detachable coils.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies have depicted arterial and aneurysmal anatomy with three-dimensional time-of-flight (3D-TOF) MR angiography before and after treatment with Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs) and with CT angiography before and after treatment with stents and stent-grafts. We investigated the ability of time-resolved contrast-enhanced 3D MR angiography (3D MR digital subtra...
متن کاملExpandable metal stents for the treatment of esophageal malignant obstruction.
Esophageal cancer is the sixth leading cause of death from cancer worldwide [1]. Due to the esophagus distensible characteristics, patients may not recognize any symptoms until 50% of the luminal diameter is compromised explaining why cancer of the esophagus is generally associated with late presentation and poor prognosis [2]. Esophageal stents are devices used to maintain or restore the lumen...
متن کاملCT and MR imaging of nitinol stents with radiopaque distal markers.
PURPOSE To evaluate imaging characteristics and artifacts of a nitinol stent with distal tantalum markers with computed tomography (CT) angiography and magnetic resonance (MR) angiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS A vascular phantom was built to simulate in-stent restenosis. A nitinol stent with tantalum markers (Luminexx stent) was evaluated with CT angiography in different orientations relativ...
متن کاملCarotid artery stents: in vitro comparison of different stent designs and sizes using CT angiography and contrast-enhanced MR angiography at 1.5T and 3T.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CT angiography (CTA) and MR angiography (MRA) are increasingly used methods for evaluation of stented vessel segments. Our aim was to compare CTA, contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA) at 1.5T, and CE-MRA at 3T for the visualization of carotid artery stents and to define the best noninvasive imaging technique as an alternative to conventional angiography for each stent.
