Objective: Several metal stents have been developed in the last years. There are great differences concerning their mechanical properties. Aiming at evaluating the performance of the prototype stents, a device and a procedure to obtain curves of Expansion Power (F) X Relative Strain (ε) of these stents were developed.Materials and Methods: Three different stents were chosen to undergo compression analysis: the Talent stent, the X stent prototype, and the Z stent prototype. To determine the F X ε curves of the stents, the Force X Displacement curves of each stent were obtained with the compression device and, based on these figures, the resulting deformation was calculated.Results: The force level presented by the Talent stent was the ...
