Zusammenfassung
Objetives: This study evaluated a test procedure for quantification of in-stent restenosis under magnet resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: 3 carotid stents (30–34×8mm) have been investigated consisting of different materials and stent designs (Strecker Tantalum (open cell), Boston Scientific; Nitinol Precise RX and 316L Palmaz Genesis, both (closed cell), Cordis). An appropriate material (non-disclosed due to confidentiality) for simulating the artificial in-stent restenosis has been pre-selected by comparison of different materials T1 parameter with vascular tissue of a pig's aorta at 1 and 1.5 Tesla. The stents…
