    摘要: An apparatus, system and method for re-canalization or opening a passage through an occlusion in a blood vessel is provided. The apparatus and method, which are appropriate for cardiovascular and peripheral vessels, use a pulling member and a spring member, for example a compression spring, to oscillate a drilling component. The drilling component at the distal end of the catheter tip has combined longitudinal stiffness for penetrating a total or partial occlusion and high axial (lateral) flexibility to improve deliverability and crossability of a catheter through a partially occluded vessel or a tortuous vessel, and may taper distally. The system of the invention includes the apparatus and a control unit to permit adjustment of the frequency or amplitude of oscillation of the drilling component. Also provided is a method for oscillating a drilling component using a pulling member and a spring member and a method of traversing an occlusion.

    摘要: A stent (30) is provided with a series of short pieces (34) or sections connected together by a bioresorbable polymer (36). The stent sections are designed to separate or articulate with time as the polymer biodegrades. The time of separation can be controlled by the characteristics of the bioresorbable polymer to allow the stent to be buried in neo-intima. By using a tube (32) made of a bioresorbable polymer, the continuous covering of the tubing may inhibit embolization in the first few weeks after stent implantation within the walls of a vessel and timing for removal of the tube through formulation of the bioresorbable polymer can be controlled to occur when embolization is no longer a risk. When the detachment of the stent pieces or sections occurs, they are fixedly secured within the vessel and each are able to flex with the vessel independently of the other stent segments.

    摘要: An intravascular stent especially suited for implanting in curved arterial portion. The stent retains longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The stent is formed of intertwined meander patterns forming triangular cells. The cells are adapted to provide radial support, and also provide longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The cells also provide increase coverage of a vessel wall. Loops in the stent are disposed and adapted to cooperate, so that after expansion of said stent within a curved lumen, the stent is curved and cells on the outside of the curve open in length, but narrow in width, whereas cells on the inside of the curve shorten in length, but thicken in width to maintain a density of the stent element area which is much more constant than otherwise between the inside and outside of the curve.; The stent also minimizes flaring out by eliminating free loops of the radially supporting circumferential bands of loops.

    摘要: A catheter with two balloons for implanting a stent without flaring at the ends of the stent during implantation has an outer balloon overlying an inner balloon. The length of the inner balloon is shorter than the length of the outer balloon and shorter than a stent which is mounted over both balloons. Upon inflation of the inner balloon, the inner balloon expands only the center of the stent. After the center of the stent is expanded, further application of pressure bursts the inner balloon allowing application of pressure to the outer balloon. The outer balloon is then inflated, expanding the ends of the stent.

    摘要: An intravascular stent (208) especially suited for implanting in curved arterial portions (210). The stent (208) retains longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The stent (208) is formed of intertwined meander patterns (301 and 312) forming triangular cells (804). The triangular cells (804) are adapted to provide radial support, and also to provide longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The triangular cells (804) provide increased coverage of a vessel wall. The stent (208) can have different portions adapted to optimize radial support or to optimize longitudinal flexibility. Loops in the stent (208) are disposed and adapted to cooperate so that after expansion of said stent within a curved lumen (210), the stent (208) is curved and cells on the outside of the curve open in length, but narrow in width whereas cells on the inside of the curve shorten in length but thicken in width to maintain a density of stent element area which much more constant than otherwise between the inside and the outside of the curve.
