WISSGOTT One size- fits-all

Initial Clinical Results and In Vitro Testing of the New CGuard^TM MicroNet^TM-Covered “One-Size-Fits-All” Carotid Stent

Objective:  To evaluate a MicroNet^TM-covered stent designed for the carotid artery with the new ability to adjust to different vessel diameters in 30 consecutive patients with symptomatic stenosis (86.3%±6.4%) of the internal carotid artery.

Conclusion: The new self-adjusting, MicroNet^TM-covered stent has high conformability combined with an almost equivalent radial force at expansion diameters ranging from 5.5 to 9.0 mm. The first clinical results demonstrate that the new One-Size-Fits-All stent can be safely implanted in internal carotid arteries with reference diameters within this range.
