CP Stent™

Stent Characteristics
The CP Stent™ is composed of 0.013″ platinum / iridium wire that is arranged in a “zig” pattern, laser welded at each joint and over brazed with 24K gold. It allows expansion from 12.0 mm to 24.0 mm. The Covered CP Stent™ is comprised of the Bare CP Stent that is covered with an expandable sleeve of ePTFE.

Bare Stent
Indicated for implantation in the native and/or recurrent coarctation of the aorta on patients with the following clinical conditions:

– Stenosis of the aorta resulting in significant anatomic narrowing as determined by angiography or non-invasive imaging, i.e. echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT Scan;
– Stenosis of the aorta resulting in hemodynamic alterations, resulting in systolic pressure gradient, systemic hypertension or altered left ventricular function;
– Stenosis of the aorta where balloon angioplasty is ineffective or contraindicated;
– Stenosis diameter >20% of the adjacent vessel diameter.

– Stenosis of the aorta resulting in hemodynamic alterations, resulting in systolic pressure gradient, systemic hypertension or altered left ventricular function;
– Stenosis of the aorta where balloon angioplasty is ineffective or contraindicated;
– Stenosis diameter <20% of the adjacent vessel diameter;
– Stenosis that would present increased risk of vascular damage or disruption;
– Aneurysm associated with coarctation of the aorta.

NuMED recommends using the BIB Stent Placement Catheter.
