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： 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： 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： A device for delivering and deploying a prosthesis comprises an elongate sheath having a sheath lumen and a delivery catheter slidably disposed within the sheath lumen, the device having a deployment assist mechanism coupled to the delivery catheter and the sheath and configured to apply a retraction force to the delivery catheter and the sheath. The retraction force may vary during deployment; in particular it is less than or equal to the resistance to retraction during at least part of the deployment.

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 variable curvature stent limb (100) is disclosed. The stent limb has an S-shape enabling it to be compressed into a substantially flat condition. A stent (195) formed from a plurality of these variable curvature stent limbs (100) IS highly compressible, such that it is compatible with a low-profile delivery device. This stent (100) may be useful over a wider range of body vessel diameters and may possess a greater fatigue life, since this stent may provide a more controlled constant radial force.

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 self-expanding or otherwise expandable artificial valve prostheses for deployment within a body passageway, such as a vessel or duct of a patient. The valve prostheses include a support structure having an outer frame, a supporting member and a valve leaflet. The portion of the valve leaflet is supported by the supporting member and is positioned away from the wall of the body passageway when the device is deployed within the body passageway.

摘要： A beam is provided for intraluminal devices. The beam is defined by a first side surface and a second side surface. The first side surface is tapered at a different rate than the second side surface. One advantage of the beam is that strain which is normally concentrated in adjacent, interconnected bends is redirected onto the length of the beam. This may increase the fatigue life of intraluminal devices or may be used to fashion new structures with improved performance.

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.
