What is a rebel stent?

What is a rebel stent?

The REBEL Stent System is the newest advance in bare-metal stent technology. REBEL Stent has the visibility you want from its PtCr alloy, the strength you need with the lowest recoil* and greatest radial strength†, and the outstanding deliverability you expect from the Boston Scientific family of stents.

Is a rebel stent drug-eluting?

The Rebel Stent System features a proprietary platinum chromium (PtCr) alloy and a customized stent architecture design. It offers an identical stent platform to the Promus Premier drug-eluting stent (DES), but without the everolimus drug.

What is a monorail stent?

Platinum Chromium Alloy (PtCr) Stent Strut. 0.0032 inches (0.081 mm) for diameters 2.25 mm to 3.50 mm. Thickness. 0.0034 inches (0.086 mm) for diameter 4.00 mm.

What is a Promus Elite stent?

The Promus ELITE Stent System combines a unique customized stent architecture, the market-leading Everolimus and PVDF-HFP polymer combination, and an enhanced delivery system for outstanding acute performance backed by proven long-term outcomes.

How do you measure a coronary stent?

In general, there are two ways to size coronary stents by the IVUS technique. The traditional IVUS method requires measurement of the maximum proximal and distal reference lumen diameters by IVUS. The stent size is selected based on the larger of these measurements.

What is a platinum stent?

The SYNERGY Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent Systems are intended to treat a narrowed blood vessel (coronary artery) caused by coronary artery disease. The system consists of a catheter delivery system and a platinum-chromium metal stent.

Which stent is best?

A drug-eluting stent is the most common type of stent used to treat a blockage of the heart arteries. Many people with heart problems have been successfully treated with drug-eluting stents, preventing the need for more-invasive procedures, such as coronary artery bypass surgery.

Is Promus stent MRI safe?

The PROMUS Element Plus Stent should not migrate in this MRI environment. MR imaging within these conditions may be performed immediately following the implantation of the stent. This stent has not been evaluated to determine if it is MR Conditional beyond these conditions.

What is the normal length of a stent?

Stents range from 8 to 38 mm in length and from 2.5 to 4.0 mm in diameter.

What is Platinum Chromium?

What is it? The SYNERGY Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent Systems are intended to treat a narrowed blood vessel (coronary artery) caused by coronary artery disease. The system consists of a catheter delivery system and a platinum-chromium metal stent.
