The authors developed ABI alloy, which mechanically resembles stainless steel 316. The main elements of ABI alloy are palladium and silver. Magnetic resonance (MR) images and radiographs of ABI alloy and stainless steel 316 stent models and of nitinol, tantalum, and Elgiloy stents were compared. ABI alloy showed the least MR imaging artifacts and was more radiopaque than stainless steel 316. ABI alloy has the potential to replace stainless steel 316 for construction of balloon-expandable MR imaging-compatible stents.
作者研发了ABI合金,其机械性能与316不锈钢相似。ABI合金的主要元素是钯和银。对ABI合金、316不锈钢支架模型以及镍钛合金、钽和埃尔吉洛伊耐蚀合金支架的磁共振(MR)图像和X光片进行了比较。ABI合金显示出最少的MR成像伪影,并且比316不锈钢具有更高的射线不透性。ABI合金有潜力替代316不锈钢用于制造与MR成像兼容的球囊扩张支架。
