The RX Herculink Elite Renal Stent System is indicated for use in patients with atherosclerotic disease of the renal arteries following sub-optimal percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) of a de novo or restenotic atherosclerotic lesion ( 15 mm in length) located within 10 mm of the renal ostium and with a reference vessel diameter of 4.0 - 7.0 mm. Suboptimal PTRA is defined as 50% residual stenosis, 20 mmHg peak systolic or 10 mmHg mean translesional pressure gradient, flow-limiting dissection, or TIMI [Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction] flow < 3.
Advanced Stent Delivery for Renal Artery StenosisThe Herculink Elite SD 4.5 Renal Stent System integrates advanced technology to deliver precise and effective treatment for renal artery stenosis. Its thin strut design and optimal radial strength ensure flexible navigation within vascular anatomy. Enhanced radiopacity aids clinicians in real-time visualization, supporting accurate stent placement every time.
Optimal Strength and FlexibilityConstructed with cobalt chromium material, the stent provides strong radial support while maintaining flexibility for challenging anatomies. This feature helps reduce procedural complications and ensures reliable restoration of blood flow to the kidneys during interventional procedures.
FAQ's of Abbott Herculink Elite Renal Stent System (SD 4.5):
Q: How is the Herculink Elite SD 4.5 Renal Stent System used during procedures?
A: The system is deployed by advancing the over-the-wire delivery catheter, equipped with radiopaque markers, along a 0.014" guidewire into the renal artery. The nylon balloon expands the stent, which restores patency and ensures precise placement as visualized through imaging.
Q: What are the available stent length options for this system?
A: The Herculink Elite SD 4.5 offers stent lengths of 12 mm, 15 mm, and 19 mm, allowing clinicians to select the most suitable size for individual patient anatomy and lesion requirements.
Q: When should the Abbott Herculink Elite SD 4.5 be used?
A: This renal stent system is appropriate for interventional procedures addressing renal artery stenosis, where restoration of vessel patency and reliable support are required for improved kidney perfusion and functionality.
Q: Where can the Herculink Elite SD 4.5 Renal Stent System be sourced in India?
A: The stent system is available through authorized dealers, distributors, manufacturers, suppliers, traders, exporters, and wholesalers throughout India. Please contact a verified Abbott partner for procurement.
Q: What is the benefit of the radiopaque markers on this stent system?
A: Radiopaque markers enable clinicians to visualize the stent's position during placement, ensuring high placement accuracy and facilitating optimal procedural outcomes in real time.
Q: How should the Herculink Elite SD 4.5 be stored for maximum shelf life?
A: The system should be stored in a cool, dry place in its original packaging. When appropriately stored, it boasts a shelf life of up to three years.
Q: What are the main features that enhance stent deployment with the Herculink Elite SD 4.5?
A: Key features include thin strut design, optimal radial strength, enhanced flexibility, precise placement capability, and high accuracy, all contributing to efficient and effective stent delivery for renal artery interventions.
