The STENTYS Self-Apposing® Stent solves the stent-sizing dilemma that cardiologists are faced with when treating patients with complex anatomies. It “fits snugly” into the contour of a blood vessel, and its shape and diameter can adapt when the vessel dilates, eliminating malapposition and subsequent major complications seen with all other conventional stents.
