Figure 5 Relationship between resistance force of migration and taper of the flare.
A-C: The relationship between RFM and TAF in all six stents when the outer diameter of the compressed stent was 6 (A), 8 (B), or 10 mm (C); D-F: The relationship between RFM and TAF in just the five braided stents when the outer diameter of the compressed stent was 6 (D), 8 (E), or 10 mm (F). A simple linear regression model was used. RFM: Resistance force of migration; TAF: Taper of the flare.
