ensanchamiento de extremos


Explanation:
¿Qué forma tienen los huesos para perros? Aquí tienes un ejemplo: http://www.dreamstime.com/dogbonepattern-image53022 .

Resulta que cuando se introduce un balón o un stent, no queremos que se agrande en los extremos y adopte la forma de una doble T. ¿Por qué? Para que no sobreexpanda la arteria:

"… the balloon will not dog-bone and over-expand the artery on either end of the stent" (http://www.advpoly.com/Products/Balloons/Applications/StentD...

No obstante, este tipo de balones tiene sus aplicaciones. Aquí, en una tabla al final, tienes una ilustración de un "dog bone balloon" (balón de extremos ensanchado): http://www.devicelink.com/mddi/archive/00/09/003.html . Como dice allí mismo, se utilizan para sellar una arteria por ambos extremos: "… For drug delivery applications, two discrete balloons or a dog bone–shaped balloon can be used to seal off the precise area that requires treatment, thus sparing healthy surrounding tissue".

Supongo que para los stents, el criterio es similar.

Atentamente,

Daniel
