El
diseño versátil del
C-P Stent
permite tratar varias obstrucciones
vasculares especificas, asociadas con las cardiopatías congénitas,
especialmente en niños.
El
sistema de colocación
BIB, balón dentro del balón, ha mejorado la
seguridad y eficacia al colocar el stent, en contraste con otros sistemas
disponibles.

PURPOSE
u
To
desing a ballon expandable intravascular stent that is both
specific for and versatile enough to treat the various vascular obstructions
associated with congenital heart disease
To
improve the safety and efficacy of the ballon delivery s system
when deploying intravascular stents
BACKGROUND
Palmaz
Stent: Limitations and Disadvantages
uDesigned
for adult peripheral vascular obstructions … not CHD
uRigid,
sharp-edged, stainless steel endoprosthesis
vDifficult
to deliver in tortuous vessels
vTendency
to rupture balloon, ? vascular injury
uSlot
design causes significant stent shortening
vAt
recommended expanded diameters: < 33% @ 12 mm
vWhen
“overexpanded”: >
50% @ 18 mm
uLimited
range of expanded diameters and lengths
v?
Unsuitable for aorta, pulmonary arteries, systemic veins
Single
Balloon Delivery System
uBalloon
is chosen longer than stent to avoid stent migration, unfortunately ...
Excessve
"flaring of stent"-->
trauma to balloon, vessel
uLeads
to stent migration and catheter movement
uNo
ability to reposition stent during delivery
GOALS

CONCLUSIONS
©The
NuMED
C-P
Stent
offers an effective, nonsurgical treatment for a wide variety of
vascular obstructions associated with CHD
©The
heat tempered platinum/iridium wire and Zig design improve stent strength,
radiopacity, and flexibility compared to the Palmaz stent
©The
C-P
Stent
design also minimizes shortening and vessel/balloon trauma while offering a
wide range of expanded diameters (8-30 mm) and lengths (11-117 mm)
©The
NuMED BIB
catheter is an innovative concept that has significantly improved operator
control during intravascular stent delivery
©Minimizes
stent flaring, migration, and shortening
©Minimizes
catheter movement during deployment
©Allows
stent repositioning before final expansion
Covering
the
C-P
Stent
is possible, but needs more investigation
Although
more data and longer follow-up are required the NuMED
C-P
Stent
and
BIB

COMO
DETERMINAR EL TAMAÑO A USAR DEL C-P
Stent ?
El
C-P Stent
está configurado por “ZIGS”, lo cual determina el máximo rango de
expansión del diametro del stent.
Al
momento de expansión, se calcula un acortamiento del stent no mayor al 20%.
Longitudes
disponibles de 16 a 45mm.
