摘要:In part, the invention relates to a method for sizing a stent for placement in avessel. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of: dividing the vessel into aplurality of segments, each segment being defined as the space between branches of thevessel; selecting a starting point that appears to have substantially no disease; definingthe diameter at this point to be the maximum diameter; calculating the maximal diameterof the next adjacent segment according to a power law; measuring the actual diameter ofthe next adjacent segment; selecting either the calculated maximum diameter or themeasured maximum diameter depending upon which diameter is larger; using theselected maximum diameter to find the maximum diameter of this next segment;iteratively proceeding until the entire length of the vessel is examined; and selecting astent in response to the diameters of the end proximal and distal segments.
