Are All Wires Created the Same? A Quality Assurance Study of the Stiffness of Wires Typically Employed During Endovascular Surgery Using Tension Dynamometry

Objective: There have only been a few studies on the stiffness and load bearing characteristics of guidewires used to deliver devices during endovascular procedures, particularly endovascular aneurysm repair. The aim of this study was to compare the load bearing characteristics of typical stiff and...
