Abstract
NITINOL is gaining increasing popularity among the manufacturers of endoluminal devices. At the same time, most interventional radiologists know little about its unique properties. A thorough understanding of the physical properties of nitinol, however, is important for optimizing selection and deployment of endoluminal devices in a given clinical scenario. This article reviews the unique physical characteristics of nitinol that influence its use in interventional radiology. This information is intended to aid in the selection of nitinol-based interventional devices and provide better understanding of technical aspects of their deployment and mechanism of action after implantation.
