    摘要: A radially deployable covered stent that predictably and dependably expands to an increased diameter state at relatively low deployment pressures while concomitantly minimizing the risk of tearing of the stent covering during expansion. The stent covering includes an inner cover and an outer cover that are bonded together through and around the stent structure to cover the stent. The stent cover is constructed from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) having a structure of nodes interconnected by fibrils. The stent covering has a radial thickness of at least about 0.008″ and an average internodal distance (IND) of at least about 100 microns when the stent is in the reduced diameter, unexpanded state. The covered stent deploys at an average deployment pressure of less than or equal to about 10 atm. A method for covering a stent structure according to the present invention includes placing a compression member in the form of a tubular sleeve over the outer cover and heating the compressed covered stent to bond the inner cover to the outer cover. An adhesive in the form of an aqueous dispersion of PTFE can be applied to either the inner cover or the outer cover to facilitate bonding of the inner cover to the outer cover.

    摘要: A balloon geometry is utilized herein where the balloon is inflatable from an initial unexpanded state to an expanded state. The balloon includes first and second portions; the first portion having a first diameter with the balloon being in the expanded state, the second portion having a second diameter with the balloon being in the expanded state, the first diameter being different from the second diameter. With a stent being mounted onto the balloon, expansion of the balloon results in the first portion of the balloon assisting a first portion of the stent to radially expand more than a second portion of the stent located adjacent to the second portion of the balloon. Preferably, the stent is formed of shape memory polymer. With the subject invention, one or both ends of the stent can be formed with larger diameters, or flares, in vivo at the point of implantation. The flared ends provide engagement points for the stent to a surrounding bodily passageway. Although the balloon may have various applications, it is particularly well-suited for use with shape memory polymer stents, which can be expanded and deformed in vivo.

    摘要: A system for intraluminally delivering and deploying stents and other prostheses includes an outer catheter, an inner catheter movable axially relative to the outer catheter, and an anchoring device mounted to a distal end region of the inner catheter. The anchoring device includes one or more control features that interact with a linking structure proximally disposed on the prosthesis, preferably including one or more loops. The control features and loops interact by surface engagement to anchor the prosthesis relative to the inner catheter in a nonfrictional manner, thus to maintain lower axial prosthesis deployment and retraction forces. In one version of the anchor, the control features extend radially outward from a sleeve. In another version, the control features are formed in respective recesses which also receive the loops or other linking structure.
