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

Figure 4

The maximal compressed stent length of the stents in the longitudinal strength test. Model 5943 Materials Testing was used in the tested of longitudinal strength (a), and the compressed stent length from different source were measured under pressure (b). The maximal compressed stent length was compared among stents from the X-stent, S-stent, F-stent, and H-stent (c). .
