title: The development of a prosthesis for banding of an artery capable of staged dilatation by intraluminal balloon dilator: an experimental investigation.
abstract: Two prostheses were developed that were capable of banding an artery and subsequently being dilated by an intraluminal balloon dilator inflated to six atmospheres. After a mean duration of 89 days, the banding was dilated successfully.
