Stents are usually made of nitinol, PTFE, or stainless steel. Choosing the right material needs to take into account individual differences and specific circumstances to ensure long-term effectiveness and safety.
1. Nitinol stent medical inplant
Nitinol stent has a memory function, and can change its shape when it is subjected to temperature changes and external forces, thus playing the role of expansion and contraction, so it is often used in the manufacture of cerebrovascular stents. Cerebrovascular stents made of nitinol are usually treated with thermal expansion technology, which allows them to maintain a certain tension in the body to support the damaged blood vessel walls.
2. Teflon stent
PTFE is a polymer material with excellent chemical stability, corrosion resistance and low coefficient of friction. Covering it as a coating on the metal surface can effectively reduce the contact between blood and the metal surface, reducing the risk of thrombosis. For example, a drug-eluting balloon catheter made of Teflon-coated stainless steel wire wire can be used for dilation of stenosis during coronary intervention.
3. Stainless steel
Stainless steel has good mechanical properties and biocompatibility, and is widely used in medical device manufacturing. The chromium and nickel in its composition can promote the production of nitric oxide in the body, help improve local microcirculation and inhibit platelet activation, thereby preventing the occurrence of restenosis. For people with carotid artery stenosis caused by atherosclerosis, your doctor may recommend percutaneous transcranial angioplasty with a bare-metal stent made of stainless steel.
For the management of cerebrovascular diseases, it is recommended to regularly perform imaging examinations such as magnetic resonance angiography to monitor the condition of blood vessels; At the same time, attention should be paid to controlling high blood pressure, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, and a reasonable diet, such as a low-salt diet and a low-fat diet, which is conducive to maintaining cardiovascular health.
