Dissection, it comes blood from the lumen of the vessel between the vessel wall layers and sheared them apart. Failure to treat an aneurysm at an advanced stage can result in rupture of the artery, with the result that the patient bleeds internally.
  • the affected vessel is stabilized by implantation of a vascular stent / stent graft in order to avoid a rupture of the vessel or to generally ensure the open keeping of the vessel.
  • More serious blockage of the blood vessels of affected patients can also lead to hypertension, ischemic injury, stroke or myocardial infarction.
  • Atherosclerotic lesions that limit or block coronary blood flow are the leading cause of ischemic heart disease.
  • Vascular stents / stent grafts generally consist of a tube-shaped metal frame whose lateral surface may be covered with a textile or polymer film can, so that there is a hollow cylindrical body.
  • the stent can be radially compressed, for example by means of a surrounding and compressing sheath surrounding the stent, so that its cross-sectional area is significantly reduced.
  • the stent can be applied for implantation on a dilation body, by means of which the stent can be expanded if necessary.
  • the stent / stent graft is thus brought by means of an introducer into the area of the site to be treated or the aneurysm, where the stent is released.
  • the stent Due to the spring action of the metal frame or dilation of the dilation body, the stent expands, thereby tensing its lateral surface, which jams in the blood vessel proximally and distally of the aneurysm or open-site. In this way, the blood now flows through the stent / stent graft, preventing further stress on the effect and ensuring the vessel is kept open.
  • Many of these expandable catheters are known in the art.
  • a wide variety of stents are used.
  • the self-expandable properties result from the use of self-expanding materials, such as Nitinol.
  • Balloon-dilatable systems are expanded by an internal force when the system is mounted on a balloon, for example.
  • the metal frame of the balloon catheter is dilated by the dilation of the dilation balloon, which is inserted from the inside into the metal frame.
  • the balloon catheters are generally placed from the groin over a guide wire and guide catheter into the stenosis and inflated with pressure. This eliminates the bottleneck and avoids surgery.
  • a disadvantage of a balloon-dilatable stent is that it must be protected against damage during insertion. Damage to the dilation body would mean that it can not be dilated at the desired location.
  • balloon-deflatable stents are easy to handle and precise to place.
  • a disadvantage of balloon-dilatable stents is the expansion of the vessel wall layers with a balloon, so that, for example, the destruction of the endothelial cell layer by the dilation of the balloon-dilatable stent can occur even at low deployment pressures (> 3 bar). This usually leads to a disadvantage Activation of coagulation.
