<b>Biocompatibility Studies of the Anaconda Stent-Graft and Observations of Nitinol Corrosion Resistance</b>

Abstract

This Anaconda stent-graft has demonstrated its ability to exclude arterial aneurysms. The device used in this study was an experimental prototype, and the manufacturer has incorporated new immobilization features into the model for clinical use. The constituent materials appear to be suitable in terms of biocompatibility, biofunctionality, and short-term durability.
