    摘要: A cage and sleeve assembly for an embolic filtering device used to filter embolic particles from a body vessel has a strut assembly that is movable between an unexpanded position and an expanded position. Struts having strut ends at the respective ends form a cage. The strut ends are initially made from linear elastic nitinol, and a series of spot or laser or other types of welds then secure the strut ends in the sleeve assembly. In one approach, the ends of the strut ends are welded to form a tube. In another approach, the strut ends are welded onto a sleeve. The strut ends may optionally have ends that are partial cylinders, and the partial cylinders are welded onto a cylindrical sleeve. Effects from the welding, such as changing linear elastic nitinol to superelastic nitinol, are contained within a heat-effected zone, and do not extend into areas of the structure that typically bend during use.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for applying a coating composition to a stent. A mandrel for supporting the stent has one or more drive pins and other supporting structure that loosely supports the stent, in an unstable position. The support permits freedom of movement of the stent relative to the mandrel to cause the stent to frequently re-position itself over the mandrel during a spraying process. When a coating composition is applied, the stent randomly or periodically moves about relative to the mandrel due to intermittent contact between the stent and the rotating mandrel and fluidic forces applied through the sprayed coating composition.

    摘要: A system for enabling the insertion and removal of an embolic protection device, for capturing and retaining embolic debris which may be created during the performance of a therapeutic interventional procedure in a stenosed or occluded region of a blood vessel. The system, in an embodiment thereof, enables the device to be snap-fitted so as to engage the distal end of a guide wire, to be pre-formed for expansion thereof so as to seal off the inner surface of a blood vessel, to inhibit the forming of a gap therein, for inhibiting embolic material from passing therethrough, and to be foreshortened to enable insertion thereof through confined spaces. The system, in another embodiment thereof, enables expandable material to be formed into an expandable configuration of an embolic protection device for capturing embolic material, which is capable of sealing off the inner surface of the blood vessel.
