Abstract:
Medical devices and methods for making and using a medical device are disclosed. An example medical device may include a stent that comprises a first covered region formed of one or more interwoven filaments and a covering. The stent may also comprise a second uncovered region adjacent the first covered region. The second uncovered region may include a knitted filament. A first end of the knitted filament may be attached to the first covered region. The knitted filament is configured to be unraveled to remove both the first covered region and the second uncovered region of the stent while the first end of the knitted stent remains attached to the first covered region.
