Abstract:Objective: Real-time accurate venous lesion characterization is needed during endovenous interventions for stent deployment. The goal of this study is to validate a novel device for venoplasty sizing and compliance measurements.Methods: A compliance measuring sizing balloon (CMSB) uses real-time electrical conductance measurements based on Ohm’s Law to measure the venous size and compliance in conjunction with pressure measurement. The sizing accuracy and repeatability of the CMSB system were performed with ph… Show more
