    摘要: A tethered stent made up of interconnected struts which together form expansion columns. At least some of the struts are connected to each other by tethers. When the stent expands, the tethers pull on the interconnected struts and limit how far apart from each other the struts can move when expanding. This limitation allows for greater control over what overall shape the expanded stent will assume and how particular portions of the stent will deploy. The tethers also add density to the stent and increases surface area which leads to better stent scaffolding and greater effectiveness of drug coatings.

    摘要: A stent assembly includes a branch portion and a main body with a proximal main body, a contralateral main body, and a distal main body. The branch portion is in fluid communication with the main body. In the expanded state the branch portion extends at an oblique angle in relation to the longitudinal axis. The main body and the branch portion are at least partially constructed of interconnected struts. A plurality of the struts are connected one to another by a peak. The distal main body has a greater peak width to strut width ratio than does the proximal main body and contralateral main body.

    摘要: In at least one embodiment, a stent comprises a plurality of serpentine bands and a plurality of connector struts. Adjacent serpentine bands are connected by at least one connector strut. Each serpentine band comprises a plurality of alternating straight band struts and turns. Each connector strut is connected at one end to a turn of one serpentine band and connected at the other end to a turn of another serpentine band. The turns of a serpentine band comprise connected turns that connect to a connector strut and unconnected turns that do not connect to a connector strut. At least one of the serpentine bands comprises a repeating pattern of three band struts and then five band struts extending between connected turns as the serpentine band is traversed.

    摘要: A stent has an undeployed state and a deployed state. The stent has a primary body with an outer surface and an inner surface with a wall extending therebetween. The inner surface defines a first lumen having a first longitudinal axis therethrough. The primary body has at least two side branch portions which define secondary lumens having a second longitudinal axis therethrough. The first lumen and the secondary lumen are in fluid communication and in the deployed state one of the side branch portions deploy and the second longitudinal axis forms an oblique angle with the first longitudinal axis.

    摘要: A stent may include a side branch cell comprising a plurality of petals. When deployed in a bifurcated vessel, petals located near the inside of the bifurcation may experience high amounts of bending. A petal may include a predetermined bending region in which the petal is treated and may have less bending strength. Therefore, the petal will bend at the predetermined bending region in a predetermined fashion. A bending region may be heat-treated to reduce strength, may comprise less cross-sectional area than other portions of the petal, etc.

    摘要: A stent may include a side branch cell comprising a plurality of petals. Each petal may comprise struts and turns, and may have a longitudinal axis oriented at an angle to the stent longitudinal axis. Each petal may include a plurality of straight struts which are substantially parallel to the stent longitudinal axis. Each petal may include at least one appendage which may be oriented substantially parallel to the stent longitudinal axis, and which may remain substantially parallel to the stent longitudinal axis as the stent is deployed. The dimension of the side branch cell about the circumference of the stent may increase more than the dimension of the side branch cell in a stent lengthwise directions as the stent is expanded.
