Evaluation of FeMnN alloy bioresorbable flow diverting stents in the rabbit abdominal aorta.

ABSTRACT: Flow diverting stents are braided, metallic endoluminal devices widely used to treat intracranial aneurysms. Bioresorbable flow diverters (BRFDs) are gaining traction as the next generation of flow diverter technology. BRFDs aim to occlude and heal the aneurysm before safely dissolving into the body, mitigating or eliminating complications associated with the permanent presence of conventional flow diverters such as thromboembolism and stenosis. Additional putative advantages of a BRFD include a reduction in metal induced medical imaging artifacts, a restoration of physiological vasoreactivity, and allowing physicians to re-access the aneurysm if an additional procedure is required. In this current study, iron-manganese-nitrogen (FeMnN) alloy BRFDs and permanent control FDs composed of an
