Mission

The Arts Research Center at University of California, Berkeley is a think tank for the arts, a genuinely interdisciplinary space that brings people together--from across the university and beyond the university, from across the arts and beyond the arts--for unexpected conversations, collaborations, and community-building.form the stent together with these terminal prongs made navigation of the blood vessels to the locus of the lesion difficult as well as risky from the standpoint of injury to healthy tissue along the passage to the target vessel. Furthermore, once placed, the continuous stresses from blood flow and cardiac muscle activity created significant risks of thrombosis and damage to the vessel walls adjacent to the lesion, leading to restenosis. A major disadvantage of these types of stents were that their radial expansion was associated with significant shortening in their length, resulting in unpredictable longitudinal coverage when fully deployed.
Among subsequent designs, some of the most popular have been the Palmaz-Schatz slotted tube stents. Originally, the Palmaz-Schatz stents consisted of slotted stainless steel tubes comprising separate segments connected
