Abstract: An example medical device for treating a body lumen is disclosed. The medical device includes an expandable scaffold including first and second regions, each of the first and second regions include a plurality of interstices located therein. The medical device also includes a covering spanning each of the plurality of interstices of the first region. The second region is free of the covering. A biodegradable gripping material is disposed on an outer surface of the covering. Further, the expandable scaffold is configured to shift from a collapsed state to an expanded state and the second region is configured to contact an inner surface of the body lumen in the expanded state. Additionally, the gripping material is designed to initially prevent migration of the expandable scaffold upon implantation in the body lumen until the second region is secured to the inner surface of the body lumen.

Abstract: An implant system may include a delivery sheath having an actuator mechanism, an anchoring assistance device including an expandable scaffold including a mid-body section, a cusp interface section, and a crown end arrangement, and a replacement heart valve implant. The cusp interface section includes a plurality of loop portions arranged at radial intervals about the expandable scaffold. Each loop portion is circumferentially spaced apart from another loop portion by a region having a deployment ring, the region being configured to span a commissure of the aortic valve and extending distally a shorter distance from the distal end than the loop portions. An elongate deployment member is configured to releasably engage with the deployment rings to actuate the expandable scaffold from a delivery configuration to a deployed configuration. The replacement heart valve implant is configured to be at least partially disposed within the expandable scaffold in the deployed configuration.

Abstract: An example introducer is disclosed. An example introducer sheath includes a tubular member including a first layer and a second layer and a stent disposed between the first layer and the second layer of the tubular member. The stent includes an outer surface and an inner surface. Additionally, the stent is configured to shift from a first configuration to a second expanded configuration and the outer surface of the stent contacts the first layer of the tubular member in the second expanded configuration.

Abstract: An example medical device is disclosed as an expandable stent. The stent includes a tubular scaffold having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a lumen extending therein. The expandable stent also includes a liner disposed within the lumen of the tubular scaffold. Further, the liner is radially spaced from a medial region of the tubular scaffold to define a tissue ingrowth region along an uncovered portion of the medial region. Additionally, the liner extending along the tissue ingrowth region is configured to limit the amount of tissue ingrowth along the medial region of the scaffold.

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.
