Multiple peripheral artery stent, bare-metal

Definition

A non-bioabsorbable tubular device intended to be alternatively implanted in more than one peripheral artery (e.g., iliac, carotid, renal) to indefinitely maintain patency and improve luminal diameter in patients with atherosclerotic disease or following the recanalization of a total occlusion. It is typically implanted by a dedicated instrument where it self-expands upon release or is balloon expanded. It is made of metal [e.g., nickel-titanium alloy (Nitinol)] and may be a continuous tube of a certain length, a mesh structure, or other design for supporting constant blood flow through the artery. Some types may be used in the biliary duct as a secondary intended use.
