Abstract
A method for assessing medical instrumentation having a probe, such as a catheter, is based on the process of inserting the catheter into a non-human animal having a human tissue graft, such as a coronary artery graft exhibiting an atherosclerotic lesion. The catheter is then moved to the human tissue graft. Then, an analysis or treatment of the human tissue graft is performed using the catheter. The performance of the medical instrumentation can be thus assessed relative human tissue. The testing is performed on a live animal, thus creating a physiologic and biomechanical environment similar to that found in a human, without the necessity of human testing.
