Test setup for characterizing the efficacy of embolic protection devices

Test setup for characterizing the efficacy of embolic protection devices

Systems for embolic protection are applied during the dilatation and the implantation of stents in the carotid artery. They are used to avoid downstream drift of arterial plaque particles which may be released during the intervention. Such particulate debris increases the risk of stroke when reachin...
