When you reach for a balloon expandable stent, you require accuracy. The LifeStream™ Balloon Expandable Covered Stent was developed using BD’s vast experience in PTA and covered stents to create a device designed for the challenging anatomy of iliac arteries and engineered to facilitate accurate placement. With a design that facilitates ease of trackability, low sheath profile, stent-specific marker bands, and minimal foreshortening, the LifeStream™ Covered Stent helps you deliver accurate placement.

Individual results may vary.
Low Sheath Profile
Accurate Placement
Ease of Delivery
Broad Size Matrix & Low Sheath Profile
The radiopaque marker bands of the LifeStream™ Covered Stent have been specifically positioned on the balloon catheter at the ends of the crimped covered stent to facilitate accurate stent placement. And when millimeters count, the LifeStream™ Covered Stent, with an average of 3.5% foreshortening across all balloon sizes at nominal inflation pressure2, achieved a high Acute Technical Success Rate of 98.3% in the BOLSTER Study3.
Minimal Foreshortening
The LifeStream™ Balloon Expandable Vascular Covered Stent is designed to maximize your lesion coverage with minimal foreshortening and facilitate accurate placement.

** 5 mm - 8 mm diameters utilize a 37 mm base stent platform. 9 mm - 12 mm diameters utilize a 38 mm base stent platform.
1Ability to post-dilate beyond nominal diameter to help conform to varying patient vessel diameters. 5-8 mm devices can be post-dilated to balloons up to 10 mm in diameter and 9-12 mm devices can be post-dilated with balloon s up to 12 mm in diameter.
2 Foreshortening is calculated as the difference, represented as a percentage, between the labeled covered stent length in crimped condition and the actual stent length measured at both nominal and at rated burst pressure. Across all balloon sizes, foreshortening ranged from -1.5%% to 11.6% at nominal pressure, with a mean of 3.5%, and from -0.8% to 11.8% at rated burst pressure, with a mean of 4.6%. Please consult package insert for the LifeStream™ Covered Stent foreshortening chart.
3 Acute Technical Success defined as successful deployment of the LifeStream™ Covered Stent at the intended location, as determined by the investigator. BOLSTER Clinical Study. Data on File. Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc., Tempe, AZ.
