[Fundamental experiment of expansile force of expandable metallic stent].
So far expansile force of expandable metallic stent has been estimated by only wall-distending pressure P. We estimated expansile force of stent by not only P but also a force per one unit length of wire F. F corresponds to the degree of digging into the vessel wall. P and F were thought to be useful in selecting the best stent.
