  • Abstract:
    In the European Union the most often reason of deaths is the disease of the cardiovascular system. The so called stent is a biocompatible metal mesh which is inserted in the narrowed section of the artery to dilate and prop up its wall; hereby it ensures continuous flow of blood, inhibiting for example the formation of stroke. In pursuance of our research stents made of shape memory Ni-Ti alloy (nitinol) were investigated which can be exceedingly applied in peripheral arteries exploiting the special features of nitinol.
