Braided wire stents demonstrate distinct characteristics compared to welded ones. In this
study, both braided and welded wire stents with the same nominal dimensions were crimped …

Purpose: To demonstrate an experimental model designed to allow placement of a vein
segment containing a valve into a femoral vein without the need for anastomoses or surgical …

Endovascular treatment of aortic disorders has gained wide acceptance due to reduced
physiological burden to the patient compared to open surgery, and ongoing stent‐graft …

Using the technique of radioactive 51Cr‐labeled biological microspheres, this study
evaluated arterial blood flow following small vessel anastomosis by CO2 laser welding and …

Abstract Background and Objective Previous studies in laser assisted vascular welding have
been limited by the lack of a reliable end point for tissue fusion. As a means of improving the …

Objective Evaluation of the risk of galvanic corrosion in various stent-grafts in current
practice, when devices with unmatched alloy compositions are deployed together. Method …

Vascular tissue engineering has the potential to make a significant impact on the treatment
of a wide variety of medical conditions, including providing in vitro generated vascularized …

Endovascular grafts (EVG) are stent grafts implanted percutaneously to repair aortic
aneurysms. The primary source of fixation of the EVG is the friction from radial forces …
