Abstract TP214: In-Silico versus In-Vitro Evaluation of a New Stent-Retriever Design: A Novel Approach to Pre-Clinical Device Development

Stroke Journal

Neurovascular anatomy of the virtual model was built based on digital subtraction angiography of an in-vitro model (Sim Agility, Mentice, Inc). The figure below demonstrates a pictorial representation of the first scenario- 1 cm red blood clot in M1 artery followed by mechanical thrombectomy simulation using the SuperNova stent-retriever.

Self-Expanding Valve Outperforms Balloon-Expandable Valve for TAVR in Patients with Small Valve Annulus

DAIC

Patients had a valve annulus of 430 mm2 or less and anatomy suitable for either the Evolut PRO/PRO+/FX or the SAPIEN 3/3 Ultra. The trial enrolled 716 patients who underwent TAVR at 83 international sites in North America, Europe and the Middle East. of patients who received the Evolut valve and 10.6% of those receiving the SAPIEN valve.
