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: The present disclosure relates generally to stents and methods for managing passage of material through a body lumen. In some embodiments, a medical stent may include a stent body defined by a hollow tubular elongate structure extending along a central axis, the stent body including a first portion and a second portion. The medical stent may further include a control region between the first and second portions, wherein in a first configuration the hollow tubular elongate structure of the control region is in a closed, twisted configuration, and wherein in a second configuration the hollow tubular elongate structure of the control region is in an open, expanded configuration.

Abstract: A medical system includes a porous body positioned at a target site within a subject, a tube including a wall defining a tube lumen, where the tube is connected to the porous body at a first end of the tube, and a sealing device to seal the target site from a body lumen. When the sealing device seals the target site from the body lumen, the tube extends from the target site into the body lumen.

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: A system and method for delivering irreversible electroporation treatment to a selected tissue includes introducing an endoscope into a position adjacent the selected tissue, and advancing first and second probes having electrodes at their distal ends. One probe may be inserted into the lesion or tumor and remain in place while the other probe is moved around the tumor, with activation of the electrodes occurring at each location of the probes.
