ABSTRACT:
The mechanical properties of various angioplastic surgical devices are altered in order to enhance their transportability through the vascular system by changing their operating temperature while situated within the body. Temperature increases are utilized to increase flexibility or cause devices to assume certain configurations while a temperature decrease serves to increase stiffness and rupture strength.
