Stages of the swine testing Project

1. Experimentation on radiopaquestandardized blood clot sample

2. Testing of radio-opacity of theclot at KWH DSA facility

3. Acquisition of computers forDICOM file viewing and production of 3D printing .stl files

4. Fabrication of two thrombectomyprototypes 

5. Experimentation ofradio-opacity of the prototypes

6. Experimentation of guidingcatheter and prototype carrier catheter

7. Gathering of 3D DSA cerebralvessel DICOM image data from KWH

8. Production of .stl file for 3Dprinting of cerebral vesselsr

9. In vitro testing of standardclot delivery with 3D models

10. Development of a miniature RFgenerator

Swine model for testing

Aenean tortor est, vulputate quis leo in, vehicula rhoncus lacus. Praesent aliquam in tellus eu gravida.

Dissection of the carortid

Swine carotid system was studied and images were taken. The animal is sacrified and the vessel was harvested for histology

Dissection of the neck vessel

Neck vessels are studied and insertion of devices and clot can be monitored.

Imaging of the swine vessel

DSA images were taken after insertion of catheter into the groin.

Endoluminal laboratory

A container was used for the developement of the endolouminal resereach laboratory.

Studies of the specimen

The blood vessels are havested for histological studies.
