Philips launches Duo Venous Stent System for Treatment of Symptomatic Venous Outflow Obstruction

DAIC

and an investigator in the VIVID study , which contributed to the device’s FDA approval – successfully used the Duo Venous Stent System for the first time outside of a clinical trial. Duo Hybrid has a distinct integrated design that combines multiple zones of differing mechanical properties into a single stent [3].

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

Stroke Journal

In-silico evaluation (computer simulated analysis in a virtual stroke model) has the potential to test and optimize large number of stent-retriever design variations in a relatively time and cost-effective manner. Gravity Medical Technology’s SuperNova Stent-retriever was the device under investigation.

Abstract 249: In?silico Versus In?Vitro Evaluation of a New Stent?Retriever Design: A Novel Approach to Pre?clinical Development

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

In‐silico evaluation (computer simulated analysis in a virtual stroke model) has the potential to test and optimize large number of stent‐retriever design variations in a relatively time and cost‐effective manner. Further, new design concepts can be tested across multiple anatomical scenarios.

As an alternative therapeutic option, LVAD heart pumps have been implanted to help patients with end-stage heart failure sustain blood circulation in the body. However, there are shortcomings associated with LVAD implantation: complications include infection, blood clotting (thrombosis), stroke and bleeding.
