Abstract: A polymeric stent includes a polymeric tubular body extending from a distal region to a proximal region, the polymeric tubular body adapted to have a negative Poisson's ratio. A distal engagement feature is formed within the distal region and a proximal engagement feature is formed within the proximal region. A delivery device for the polymeric stent includes a tubular body having an outer surface adapted to accommodate the polymeric stent thereover. A distal stent engagement member is secured relative to the tubular body and is adapted to releasably engage the distal engagement feature. A proximal stent engagement member is secured relative to the tubular body and is adapted to releasably engage the proximal engagement feature. The tubular body is adapted to affect a change in a distance between the distal stent engagement member and the proximal stent engagement member, thereby changing a length of the polymeric stent.

Abstract: A stent includes a tubular body formed of one or more interwoven wires, the tubular body having first and second opposing open ends and a lumen extending therebetween. The stent further includes a first anchor member disposed adjacent the first open end and a second anchor member disposed adjacent the second open end, the first and second anchor members each extending radially outward from the tubular body, the first and second anchor members each having an outer diameter larger than an outer diameter of the tubular body disposed between the first and second anchor members. A plurality of spacer members are disposed around the first open end and extending longitudinally beyond the first open end, wherein when a pulling force is applied to the spacer members, the outer diameter of the tubular body is not reduced.

Abstract: An illustrative endoluminal implant having an elongated tubular member. The elongate tubular member having a proximal stent, a distal stent and an interconnecting sleeve. The proximal stent tapers from a first outer diameter adjacent the proximal end region to a second smaller outer diameter adjacent the distal end region. The distal stent has an outer diameter less than the first outer diameter of the proximal stent. The interconnecting sleeve is collapsible in response to an applied radial force such that the sleeve is positionable across a natural valve or sphincter.

Abstract: A system for maintaining patency of a body lumen may include a first endoprosthesis configured to shift from a straightened configuration to a helical configuration defining a plurality of loops, and a second endoprosthesis configured to shift from a radially collapsed configuration toward a radially expanded configuration. The plurality of loops defines a passage having an inner diameter. At least a portion of the second endoprosthesis is disposed within the passage in the radially expanded configuration. A method of maintaining patency of a body lumen may include advancing a first endoprosthesis into a first body lumen in a straightened configuration, deploying the first endoprosthesis within the first body lumen in a helical configuration defining a plurality of loops, advancing a second endoprosthesis into the first body lumen in a radially collapsed configuration, and shifting the second endoprosthesis to a radially expanded configuration within the plurality of loops.

Abstract: A stent may include a radially expandable tubular framework includes a first end region, a second end region, a medial region positioned between the first end region and the second end region, and a lumen extending therethrough. The radially expandable tubular framework is configured to expand from a radially collapsed configuration to a radially expanded configuration. A plurality of covering strips are positioned along at least one of the first end region, the medial region, and the second end region. The plurality of covering strips fully covering the radially expandable tubular framework in the radially collapsed configuration, and the plurality of covering strips are configured to separate from one another in the radially expanded configuration to expose portions of the radially expandable tubular framework therebetween.

Abstract: A lumen-apposing access system may include a catheter and a cauterization tip. The cauterization tip may include a biasing member and a cautery element. The cauterization tip may move relative to the catheter between a first position in which the cautery element is electrically inactive, and a second position in which the cautery element is electrically active. The biasing member biases the cautery element in the first position.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to stents, systems, and methods for anchoring devices within a body lumen by cooperation between the device and the body musculature. A device comprising an elongate tubular member may be deployed within a body lumen, where the body lumen includes a sphincter that regulates flow through the body lumen. The elongate tubular member includes a sleeve formed from a flexible membrane and one or more stents disposed at either or both ends of the sleeve. In some embodiments, the stents may be treatment stents configured to treat a portion of the body lumen. The elongate tubular member may be deployed within the body lumen such that the flexible membrane aligns with and moves in coordination with the sphincter, thereby increasing retention forces acting upon the elongate tubular member when the sphincter is closed to minimize treatment stent migration.
