Introduction: Peak systolic velocity (PSV) measurements of blood flow inside vascular stents allow reliable detection of in-stent restenosis. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the feasibility of obtaining PSV measurements inside vascular stents made of Stainless Steel and Nitinol, u

## Abstract Bioresorbable polymeric support devices (stents) are being developed in order to improve the biocompatibility and drug reservoir capacity of metal stents, as well as to offer a temporary alternative to permanent metallic stents. These temporary devices may be utilized for coronary, uret
