** 5 mm - 8 mm diameters utilize a 37 mm base stent platform. 9 mm - 12 mm diameters utilize a 38 mm base stent platform.
1Ability to post-dilate beyond nominal diameter to help conform to varying patient vessel diameters. 5-8 mm devices can be post-dilated to balloons up to 10 mm in diameter and 9-12 mm devices can be post-dilated with balloon s up to 12 mm in diameter.
2 Foreshortening is calculated as the difference, represented as a percentage, between the labeled covered stent length in crimped condition and the actual stent length measured at both nominal and at rated burst pressure. Across all balloon sizes, foreshortening ranged from -1.5%% to 11.6% at nominal pressure, with a mean of 3.5%, and from -0.8% to 11.8% at rated burst pressure, with a mean of 4.6%. Please consult package insert for the LifeStream™ Covered Stent foreshortening chart.
