From the provocative title, to the carefully chosen clinical cases, join Professors Jacques Moret and Laurent Spelle and their expert panel as they discuss, review and illuminate the nature and different clinical options of these self-expandable stents.
Beginning with the “technological duality” inherent in their design, learn about the differences between “closed” and “open cell” laser-cuts stents and how they compare to braided stents.
Learn how laser-cut stents are compressed on themselves within the catheter and are approximately the same length in and outside the catheter, while braided stents are stretched to fit inside the catheter and appear shorter outside.
These questions and more are answered in the following cases, specially chosen to explore the use of laser-cut and braided stents and to better understand why, where and how they are employed…
