Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A process for crimping stents includes a multi-stage process producing a desired stent retention and crimped profile in a reduced amount of time. The process achieves results by utilizing particular combinations of heat and pressure during the crimping process, which was found to produce the desired results. La présente invention concerne un procédé en plusieurs étapes permettant de replier des stents. Ce procédé permet, en peu de temps, de réduire l'encombrement du stent et de lui faire prendre son profil replié. Ce procédé permet d'obtenir les résultats attendus grâce à des associations particulières de températures et de pressions pendant l'opération de repliage.
