摘要： The disclosure relates to an intraluminal medical device. The medical device comprises a main graft, a first extension graft, and a second extension graft. The main graft comprises a proximal end, a distal end, and a body extending between the proximal end and distal end. The distal end of the main graft comprises a first branch and a second branch, the branches extending distally from the body. The first and second extension grafts comprise at least one stent and have a body reinforcing portion and a branch reinforcing portion. The body reinforcing portions have a larger expanded dimension than the expanded dimension of the respective branch reinforcing portion. The body reinforcing portions, together, have an expanded dimension that is generally equal to the expanded dimension of the outer graft body.

摘要： An introducer assembly (10) for introducing a stent-graft or other device into a vessel of a patient is provided with a dilator tip (100) which is naturally curved, preferably to be substantially a U-shape. The dilator tip is flexible so as to be able to become substantially straight with a guide wire (42) therein and yet to be able to curve back towards its natural curvature during deployment of an implant. The curvature of the dilator tip (100) can ensure that the dilator tip does not cause damage to the vessel wall during deployment of an implant carried thereon, as can occur with straight dilator tips.

摘要： The present embodiments provide a stent for use in a medical procedure that comprises a series of proximal apices disposed at a proximal end of the stent and a series of distal apices disposed at a distal end of the stent. A trigger wire is adapted to be coupled to at least one of the proximal apices to restrain a proximal end of the stent during delivery. In a first embodiment, a first proximal apex comprises a bore for receiving the trigger wire, and a second proximal apex, disposed adjacent to the first proximal apex, comprises at least one barb. The trigger wire therefore is only coupled to selected ones of the proximal apices. In an alternative embodiment, a first proximal apex comprises a first bore and a second, adjacent proximal apex comprises a second bore, such that a single trigger wire may be disposed through the first and second bores to restrain the first and second proximal apices during delivery.

摘要： A barb for anchoring an implantable medical device to a body vessel comprises a thin-walled body portion for engagement with a structural element of an implantable medical device and a penetrating element extending from the body portion. The body portion has a longitudinal axis. The penetrating element includes a tip portion for anchoring into tissue and a base portion between the tip portion and the body portion. In a deployed configuration of the barb, the base portion curves away from the longitudinal axis at a first curvature and the tip portion curves toward the longitudinal axis at a second curvature which is opposite in sign from the first.

摘要： An endoluminal prosthesis includes a support structure comprising a curvilinear portion having a first strut and a second strut that meet at an apex. Disposed on the support structure is an anchor (25) with an anchor body and one or more barbs (21) extending outwardly from the anchor body. The anchor body fits at least partially about, and conforms to the first strut, second strut, and the apex.

摘要： A stent for use in a stent graft comprising a strut region comprising at least two struts, the struts having at least one radius of curvature; a bend connecting the at least two struts and forming an eyelet region, where the strut region and the eyelet region are electropolished and the eyelet region is locally polished; and an eyelet positioned in the eyelet region, having at least one radius of curvature greater than zero is provided. A method of manufacturing the same also is provided.

摘要： A stent for use in a medical procedure having opposing sets of curved apices, where the curved section of one set of apices has a radius of curvature that is greater than the curved section of the other set of apices. One or more such stents may be attached to a graft material for use in endovascular treatment of, for example, aneurysm, thoracic dissection, or other body vessel condition.

摘要： An implantable device having a composite weave graft is disclosed. The device comprises a graft body forming a lumen defining a longitudinal axis and comprising proximal and distal ends. The graft body comprises a composite of low dernier yarns and polymeric yarns configured for low profile delivery and radial elongation relative to the longitudinal axis during use. The graft body has a first portion and a second portion extending from the first portion. The first portion comprises at least one expandable stent radially attached thereto for support and the second portion having corrugations for enhanced kink resistance.
