An anchor stent assembly to be used with a valve component includes a generally tubular frame having a first end and a second end, the frame defining a central passage and a central axis. A secondary passage is defined between n inner surface of the frame and an outer surface of an inner rib disposed closer to the central axis than the frame. An extension tube is disposed through the secondary passage. The extension tube includes an extension tube lumen having a first opening at a first end of the extension tube and a second opening at a second end of the extension tube.

Sealable and repositionable implant devices are provided with features that increase the ability of implants such as endovascular grafts and valves to be precisely deployed or redeployed, with better in situ accommodation to the local anatomy of the targeted recipient anatomic site, and/or with the ability for post-deployment adjustment to accommodate anatomic changes that might compromise the efficacy of the implant. A surgical implant includes an implant body and a selectively adjustable assembly attached to the implant body, the assembly having adjustable elements and being operable to cause a configuration change in a portion of the implant body and, thereby, permit implantation of the implant body within an anatomic orifice to effect a seal therein under normal physiological conditions.

A stent is provided that is capable of inhibiting shifting of position within the body. A stent 10 is provided with a main body portion 15 formed in a cylindrical shape and marker attachment portions 16 for mounting a marker for imaging. The marker attachment portions 16 are connected respectively to both ends in an axial direction of the main body portion 15. The marker attachment portions 16 are provided so as to protrude in the axial direction relative to the main body portion 15. Leg portions 17 that connect the marker attachment portions 16 to the main body portion 15 are provided with bent portions 21 that tilt the marker attachment portions 16 outward in a radial direction of the main body portion 15.

A stent includes a tubular support structure extending from a distal end to a proximal end, the tubular support structure including an inner surface and an outer surface. A retractable anchor system is disposed relative to the tubular support structure and includes a frame member and a plurality of retractable anchors secured to the frame member. The plurality of retractable anchors are biased to a deployed configuration in which the plurality of retractable anchors extend radially outward from the outer surface of the tubular support structure but are radially inwardly compressible into a delivery configuration.

The present invention relates to a tack device for holding plaque against a blood vessel wall, comprising: a frame consisting of a single column of cells, the column of cells comprising: a pair of concentric side rings spaced apart coaxially from each other, each of said pair of concentric side rings having a compressed state and an expanded state, wherein each side ring forms a respective end of the device; and a plurality of longitudinally extending bridge members connecting the pair of concentric side rings, wherein each bridge member of the plurality of longitudinally extending bridge members connects to one of the pair of concentric side rings at one end and to the other of the pair of concentric side rings at the opposite end; and one or more barbs on each of the bridge members; wherein each cell of the single column of cells comprises a portion of each of the pair of concentric side rings and two of the plurality of longitudinally extending bridge members

Devices, systems, and methods for implanting expandable prostheses in the body lumens rely on stapling or anchoring the prostheses with separately introduced fasteners. The prostheses may be self-expanding or balloon expandable, and may include a single lumen or wore than one lumen. After initial placement, a stapling system is introduced within the expanded prosthesis to deploy a plurality of fasteners to at least one prosthesis end. The stapling system may apply a force to the prosthesis to modify the shape of the prosthesis to conform to the shape of the vessel wall. The stapling system can be deflected in one or more distinct steerable segments. A lumen extension or lumens may be coupled to the prosthesis to extend the reach of the prosthesis within the implantation site. Fasteners may also be applied to the lumen extensions.

The present invention relates to a thoracic aortic covered stent (100), comprising a bare stent segment (110) and a covered stent segment (120). The bare stent segment (110) comprises a bare wave-shaped ring (111); the covered stent segment (120) has a lesser curvature side region (100c), a greater curvature side region (100a), and two opposite intermediate regions (100b) located between the lesser curvature side region (100c) and the greater curvature side region (100a) respectively; and the covered stent segment (120) comprises a first proximal wave-shaped ring (121). The stent (100) further comprises a first connecting member (131), a first side connecting member (132) and a second side connecting member (133) all connected to the bare wave-shaped ring (111) and the first proximal wave-shaped ring (121), wherein the first connecting member (131) is arranged in the lesser curvature side region (100c), and the first side connecting member (132) and the second side connecting member (133) are arranged in the two intermediate regions (100b) respectively. The stent (100) when located near the lesser curvature side (22) with a relatively small radius of curvature has a connecting assembly rigidly connecting the bare stent segment (110) and the covered stent segment (120), and through the constraints thereof, the bare stent segment (110) can be effectively prevented from overturning towards the vessel wall during the release process, so that the proximal end of the covered stent segment (120) is securely apposed to the wall, thereby avoiding the "turnover" effect.

[Problem to be solved] An object of the present invention is to provide a self-expandable stent in which an anchor member makes contact with a blood vessel wall or digestive organ wall at the optimal position when the self-expandable stent is expanded at the target site, and a gap is not easily formed between the anchor member and the blood vessel wall or digestive organ wall, and as a result, the self-expandable stent is not easily dislocated from the target site. [Solution] In the self-expandable stent 1 comprising a plurality of first wires 10 and a plurality of second wires 11 interwoven with the plurality of first wires, the first anchor member 20 is attached to the distal end 12 of one wire of the plurality of first wires 10 and the plurality of second wires 11. The distal end 22 of the first anchor member 20 is fixed to the distal end 12 of the one wire, but the proximal end 24 is a free end and not fixed to the one wire.

A stent (1) for medical use includes: a main body (10) which includes a first rigid portion (20) formed in a tubular shape along a longitudinal axis and having a predetermined rigidity with respect to a compression force exerted in a radial direction and a second rigid portion (30) having a rigidity less than that of the first rigid portion (20), the second rigid portion (30) which is substantially coaxial with and continues to a proximal end of the first rigid portion (20), and the second rigid portion (30) which formed in a tubular shape along the longitudinal axis; and a locking member (40) which is provided at the second rigid portion (30) to be locked to a tissue and includes a base end (42) connected to the second rigid portion (30) at substantially a center position in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the second rigid portion (30) and an extension portion (41) extending from the base end (42) toward an outside of the main body (10) in a radial direction
