Key Points

The aim is to compare the visibility and material properties of iCover and VBX stent grafts used as bridge stents.
Conducted an in-vitro study
Evaluated visibility and material properties
Compared performance of iCover and VBX stents
iCover and VBX stents showed similar visibility
Both stents demonstrated comparable material properties
Results indicate competence in vitro conditions

Implication

In-vitro study compares visibility and material properties of iCover and VBX stent grafts, indicating similar performance.

Abstract

VBX and iCover stents showed similar properties that demonstrate their competence in in-vitro conditions.
