Perimeter of Intersection
- Determining the perimeter of the intersection of two vessels depends on three variables: the reference diameters of the main and side branch vessels and the angle of intersection.
For example, the table on the left below lists the perimeters for the intersections of various size vessels at a 30 degree angle. The R stent perimeter of 17.9mm allows it to accomodate all intersetions with the exception of being slightly less than the perimeter of the intersection of a 4.0mm main vessel and a 3.5mm side branch. With less acute angles, the R stent is able to accomodate all intersections. The R stent's unsurpassed sidebranchability accomodates realistic angle and reference diameters of side branch and main vessel combinations.
