    Abstract: A stent for reinforcement of the lumen of a peristaltic organ is formed by knitting preferably a nitinol wire into a pattern of overlapping loops selected such that from a relaxed state each row of loops may shift axially relative to and independently of the rows on either side. This local lengthening and shortening accommodate peristalsis of the organ without migrating within the organ. A stent is also shown which comprises two resilient cylindrical mesh layers and a semi-permeable compliant membrane such as expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, sandwiched between. The two mesh layers may be knit of a flexible filament, and the knit may be configured so that the stent can adapt to peristalsis of the body lumen. A method is also shown of manufacturing a delivery system for a resilient tubular device such as a stent so that the device can be inserted into the body in a substantially reduced diameter. The method uses a confining block having a bore and a slot leading into the bore. The tubular device is pinched and inserted into the bore and the slot, two mandrels are inserted into the bore, one inside the device and one outside and the mandrels are revolved about each other to roll the device on itself.

    Abstract: The device comprises a prosthesis designed as a hollow body compressed against the action of restoring spring forces to a cross section reduced relative to an expanded use position, and held in this position by a strippable sheath. After the sheath is stripped, the prosthesis automatically expands to a cross section corresponding to the use position. The sheath, which can be a meshwork in the approximate form of crocheted material, extends over the entire length of the prosthesis and consists of at least one continuous thread and at least one drawstring. The prosthesis, held in the radially compressed position by the sheath, can be mounted displacebly on a feed wire or non-axially-displacebly on the insertion end of a probe or a catheter.

    Abstract: The implantation device for treating damaged or diseased tissue within the region of the walls of hollow organs comprises a catheter and at least one securing means detachably received in a receptacle of the catheter. After the catheter has been placed in its appropriate position in the hollow organ, said securing means is implantable in the wall of the hollow organ with a. least one implantation segment of said means. The catheter may be provided with means for receiving a protective cover for covering larger diseased areas of the tissue, as well as with means for tensioning the hollow organ prior to and in the course of the implantation process. The securing means are nails, staples, screws or spirals having a length adapted to the thickness of the wall of the hollow organ to be treated. Such securing means are implanted in the vascular wall with the help of an element of the catheter, for example a pusher axially movably received in the catheter.

    Abstract: An endoprosthesis is provided. In one embodiment the endoprosthesis may include an elongated hollow structure that may be deliverable into a body lumen of a patient for dwelling therein. This structure may be expandable and may have an initial state of decreased outer diameter during delivery relative to the outer diameter of the structure during dwelling. The endoprosthesis may also include a lining impregnated with a medication for delivery to the patient wherein the lining may be continuous and connected along the structure and expandable therewith. It may also be deformable under pressure associated with expansion of the hollow structure, such that the lining does not crack during expansion.

    Abstract: An endoprosthesis in the form of an elongated hollow structure that can be implanted percutaneously with a catheter in a blood vessel or other cavity of the body and once correctly positioned will expand from an initial state with a narrow lumen into a state with a lumen that is as wide as its placement will allow. It has a lining of a wrapping material that deforms plastically without fissuring as it expands from the state with the narrow lumen to the state with the wide lumen. Another embodiment is a stent with a wrinkled lining that smoothes out as the stent expands. The lining is impregnated with at least one medication that will gradually and preferably at a uniform rate be released to the patient once the prosthesis is in place.
