Venous Stents
The ABRE self-expanding venous stent is a newer generation of stents designed for
use in venous. Indications include SVC/brachiocephalic venous stenosis (malignant or
dialysis catheter induced), and chronic deep vein obstruction. The open-cell nitinol self
expanding stent comes in larger diameters (10 - 20 mm) and has a high radial strength
and crush resistance, without compromising flexibility.
