MAURORA ® Rapamycin drug-eluting vertebral artery stent system

In 2016, the number of new stroke cases was 5.51 million, theage-standardized incidence rate increased by 5.4%❶ in the past 20 years,and ischemic cerebrovascular diseases accounted for about 70%❷.The research results of CICAS show that 46.6% of patients with ischemic strokehave severe vascular stenosis, more than 50% of patients meet the surgicalindications, and 75%-99% of patients with severe intracranial artery stenosishave a risk of recurrent stroke as high as 5%❸. It is estimated thatin 2025, more than 1 million patients with cerebrovascular stenosis need stenttreatment.
