    摘要: A stent comprises at least one closed pathway that defines a single cell. In some embodiments, the closed pathway includes a plurality of petals constructed and arranged to extend away from the tubular wall of the stent. In one embodiment, some of the petals of the closed pathway overlap other of the petals of the closed pathway when the stent is in a reduced state. In at least one embodiment, the stent comprises a plurality of closed pathways. In one embodiment, the closed pathways are arranged in bands that extend either along the length of the stent or about the circumference of the stent.

    摘要: Devices and methods for performing improved percutaneous myocardial revascularization (PMR) procedures. One device includes a preassembled PMR drug delivery catheter and a drug neutralizing vial. The vial assembly allows prepping the PMR catheter by flushing drug through distal needle, and into a vial cavity where the drug is neutralized by a neutralizing agent. One set of devices includes needles having protrusions secured to the distal regions of drug delivery tubes. One needle has outward protruding barbs engaging the inner tube wall while another needle has outward threads which can screw into the tube inner wall. Radiopaque marker bands are also included in the present invention which are asymmetrically distributed on the catheter shaft, allowing a treating physician to determine under fluoroscopy whether the catheter distal region is pointed away or toward the treating physician, as well as determining whether the catheter distal region is rotated toward or away from the treating physician. PMR devices include catheters having dual injection needles, for both injecting a drug into the heart wall and a radiopaque contrast media to mark the already treated sites. One PMR injection device has multiple stops for allowing controlled, variable needle depth penetration with a single distal needle tip.
