Abstrakt: | A patent application has been submitted for the approval of auxetic stents for managing venous stenosis. Venous stenosis is a narrowing of the veins that can lead to complications such as post-thrombotic syndrome. The current treatment with stents designed for arteries has limitations, as they can cause narrowing of the adjacent veins. The proposed auxetic stents have a unique geometry that allows for both radial and longitudinal expansion, potentially improving outcomes for patients. The patent application provides detailed descriptions and diagrams of the stent design. [Extracted from the article] |
