Nitinol Vena Cava Stent for IHPSS

DexStent-CV is a self-expanding laser-cut and polished stent system composed of a highly flexible Nitinol stent mounted on a coaxial delivery system. The stent is radiopaque for high visibility during fluoroscopy assuring precise stent positioning and is MRI compatible. This device is used in intrahepatic, portosystemic shunt procedures in small and very large dogs.

The radial strength and elasticity is optimized to match the radial compression forces that occur inside the vena cava and while comparable to competing models of other manufacturers we ensure that the radial forces are kept the same over all stent diameters, even it comes at the price of a larger delivery system for the large diameter stents. We decided that it is more important to keep the coils in position.

We currently do not offer coils because they are easier and more affordable to source from other manufacturers.
