Evaluation of Mechanical Performances of Stents with 38 mm Length in Long Lesion

Figure 2

The percentage of stent diameter reduction of the stents in the compliance test. Diameters of the stents were measured both before and after the stent was bended along a 16 mm diameter cylinder (a). The reduced stent diameter% was compared among stents from the X-stent, S-stent, F-stent, and H-stent (b).
