Development of an in vitro measurement method for improved assessment of the side branch expansion capacity

The expansion capacity and accessibility of the side branch is essential for the stenting of complex bifurcations. Since previous measurement methods only provide limited information based on geometrical data of stent cells, a new measurement approach was developed which considers the mechanical def...
