    摘要: Apparatus and methods are provided for flaring a stent deployed within a branch vessel including an ostium communicating with a main vessel, a first end of the stent extending at least partially from the branch. A catheter is provided that includes a first balloon carried on its distal end, and a second balloon that includes a distal section overlying at least a portion of the first balloon and a proximal section. The catheter distal end is introduced into the main vessel and positioned through the ostium and stent into the branch until the first balloon is disposed within the stent. The first balloon is expanded to anchor the stent, and the second balloon is expanded to flare the first end of the stent. Optionally, the first balloon is expanded further, e.g., to expand the stent within the branch body lumen and/or dilate the lesion.

    摘要: A stent includes a coiled-up sheet having overlapping inner and outer longitudinal sections extending parallel to a longitudinal axis thereof, and defining a periphery, the coiled-up sheet being unrollable between contracted and enlarged conditions. A plurality of stretchable elements are formed in the coiled-up sheet, the stretchable elements being expandable about the periphery between an unstretched condition to facilitate placement in a delivery device in the contracted condition and a stretched condition to facilitate expansion of the coiled-up sheet to the enlarged condition upon deployment from the delivery device. Preferably, the coiled-up sheet is biased to the enlarged condition, and the stretchable elements are biased to the stretched condition. More preferably, at least one of the biases is provided by a shape memory property of the coiled-up sheet, which is activated by exposing the stent to body temperature.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are provided for use in filtering emboli from a vessel such as the ascending aorta, wherein a vascular device comprises a support hoop having an articulation region connected near a distal end of an elongated member, a blood permeable sac affixed to the support hoop so that the support hoop forms a mouth of the blood permeable sac, a guide wire, and a delivery sheath. The articulation region comprises a reduced thickness region of the support hoop that prevents kinks from forming in the support hoop when the apparatus is contracted to its delivery state, and curved regions that close the mouth of the sac to prevent material escaping from the sac when the apparatus is collapsed for removal.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are provided for treating pseudoaneurysms using freeze-dried hydrogel particles that expand and/or absorb fluid within a pseudoaneurysm. An apparatus includes an elongate tubular member including a proximal end, a distal end sized for introduction through tissue into a pseudoaneurysm or other body cavity, and a lumen communicating with an outlet on the distal end. The particles are provided within the lumen and dischargeable through the outlet, e.g., using a plunger or other actuator. The apparatus may include one or more of a bled-back channel, flow sensor, pressure sensor, and markers for monitoring the distal end during introduction into the pseudoaneurysm.
