Angiographic Safety and Efficacy of the ReSolv Flow-Diverting Stent in a Rabbit Model.

Background: Bioresorbable polymer-based flow-diverting stents have potential benefits over existing metal devices. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel ReSolv device, which is a primarily polymer-based flow-diverting stent, using the in vivo rabbit sidewall saccular aneurysm model.

Methods: ReSolv stents were deployed in 14 New Zealand White rabbits that had undergone aneurysm creation procedures.
