Comparative characteristics of venous stents

The article is devoted to the mechanical properties description and comparison of the stents characteristics used for venous stenting. There is indicated the importance of implantable stents safety problem, the requirements for implantable structures are reflected. The authors show the principal complications of this intervention, concerning the mechanical properties of the installed stents, the reasons for their occurrence and the research results devoted to it. Also, authors described the forces arising from the interaction of a venous stent with surrounding tissues and organs, its point of application and possibilities, depending on the structure of the stent. In nowadays endovascular stenting can help the patients with different level of venous obstructions, however the possible complications risk must be estimate in case of functional vein part stenting. Further technologies progress and the study of this problem will make venous stenting a routine intervention for this pathology.
