The different geometries and working principles of carotid stents (nitinol or cobalt chromium, open- or closed-cell configuration) provide each product with unique functional properties.

Stents and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) treat blocked arteries and coronary artery disease (CAD). Stents are a less invasive option, while CABG is a major surgery. Your healthcare provider ...

In the pioneering years of CAS, an attempt was made to implant balloon-expandable stents to open up the internal carotid artery (ICA) or common carotid artery (CCA). Owing to the superficial ...

This innovative approach employs a physics-inspired tapered flow channel design within the electrodes, enabling fluids to move more swiftly and efficiently. This technique could use less energy than ...

These risks are higher if you have CAD or an implanted heart device, such as an artificial heart valve or a coronary stent. And if you have an arrhythmia, a blood clot in your heart can lead to a ...

Tapered polymer optical fibers have been developed to enhance light delivery in neuroscience research, particularly for optogenetic experiments and fiber photometry.

Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a well‐established treatment for patients with carotid artery stenosis and tandem vessel occlusion. Over the years, advancements in stent design have led to the ...

The CARESTO heal is a coated carotid stent aiming to support atherosclerotic plaques by using a dense single‐layer mesh. Due to its great flexibility, it easily navigates through tortuous anatomies.

The Neuroguard IEP system, which received FDA approval in October 2024, is a three-in-one carotid stenting system that combines a high-performance stent, post-dilation balloon, and an integrated ...

Contego’s portfolio includes the Neuroguard carotid stent system and Excipio thrombectomy devices. The Neuroguard system is designed to reduce the steps required for placing a stent and consists of a ...

The Medtronic-Contego deal includes the recently FDA-approved Neuroguard IEP 3-in-1 carotid stenting system. Neuroguard IEP delivers a high-performance stent, post-dilation balloon and an ...

Results In this cohort, 101 patients underwent FRED X stenting for 117 aneurysms. Most aneurysms were saccular in shape (95.7%) and located at the C6–C7 segments of the internal carotid artery (72.6%) ...
