title: Study of the physical properties of expandable metallic stents.
abstract: The expansile force of self-expanding metallic stents is currently estimated only by wall-distending pressure (P). We estimated the expansile force of the stent not only by P but also by F, the degree of embedding into the vessel wall defined as force per unit length of wire. P and F were thought to be useful in selecting the best stent.
