Development of a model system for in vitro simulated application testing of neurovascular stent systems

In vitro test setups for simulated application testing are necessary for physician training as well as for development and benchmarking of various devices in interventional neuroradiology. Within the current study, we implemented a test setup for in vitro simulated application testing. Trackability...

description In vitro test setups for simulated application testing are necessary for physician training as well as for development and benchmarking of various devices in interventional neuroradiology. Within the current study, we implemented a test setup for in vitro simulated application testing. Trackability in the distal catheter area, which was positioned inside a complex 3D vascular model was analyzed for two neurovascular stent systems (Neuroform EZ 4.0x20 mm and Enterprise VRD 4.5x14 mm) combined with different microcatheters (Excelsior XT-27 Flex, PX Slim Delivery Microcatheter and Prowler Select Plus Infusion Catheter). The described test setup allows for a diffentiation of neurovascular stent systems with regard to the trackability force as a major procedure related indicator for device handling. Therefore, the simulated application system presented within the current work represents an indispensable tool for safely and efficiently developing and evaluating new technologies for interventional neuroradiology prior to clinical implementation.
