摘要:
A variable curvature stent limb is disclosed herein. A stent derived from a plurality of these variable curvature stent limbs may be highly compressible, such that it is compatible with a low-profile delivery device. This stent may be useful over a wider range of body vessel diameters and may possess a greater fatigue life, since this stent may provide a more controlled constant radial force.
摘要:
An attachment system for attaching an intravascular device to a vessel wall of a body vessel is disclosed. The attachment system includes an intravascular device and biological attachment material connected to the intravascular device. The biological attachment material is configured to attach the intravascular device to the vessel wall.
摘要:
An endovascular prosthesis that includes a stent and a woven graft material. The stent is connected to the graft material by direct attachment of the stent to the graft material at thermoplastically fused regions of the graft material.
摘要:
An attachment system for attaching an intravascular device to a vessel wall of a body vessel is disclosed. The attachment system includes a tubular expandable body defining a lumen therethrough. The tubular expandable body is configured to move between an expanded state to contact the body vessel and a collapsed state for delivery or retrieval. The tubular expandable body is configured to contact the vessel wall along the length of the tubular expandable body in the expanded state when deployed in the body vessel. An intravascular device is held to the exterior side of the tubular expandable body and is configured to contact the vessel wall when the tubular expandable body is in the expanded state and the system is deployed within a body vessel.
摘要:
A self-expanding or otherwise expandable artificial valve prostheses for deployment within a body passageway, such as a vessel or duct of a patient. The valve prostheses include a support structure having an outer frame, a supporting member and a valve leaflet. The portion of the valve leaflet is supported by the supporting member and is positioned away from the wall of the body passageway when the device is deployed within the body passageway.
摘要:
An attachment system for attaching an intravascular device to a vessel wall of a body vessel is disclosed. The attachment system has an intravascular device having a first end and a second end. The intravascular device defines a longitudinal axis along a length thereof. Several struts are connected to one or more ends of the intravascular device. Each strut is configured to move along a strut path relative to the longitudinal axis between an expanded state for engaging the vessel wall and a collapsed state for delivery or retrieval. Each strut has a free end configured to engage the vessel wall in the expanded state.

摘要:
A balloon expandable covered stent consists of a plurality of primary stent units, each having an undulating shape defined by a series of primary strut members converging to form peaks and valleys. The primary stent units are assembled into a single cylindrical structure of the stent by connecting corresponding peaks with secondary strut members. Generally, surfaces of the stent may then coated with a polymeric, hyper-elastic material, preferably Thoralon®, by pre-expanding the stent prior to coating.
摘要:
An endoluminal device comprises a stent and a tubular graft supported by the stent. The graft has a proximal and a distal opening and comprises a synthetic material and a bioremodelable material. The bioremodelable material is disposed on an exterior surface in at least one band adjacent at least one of the proximal and distal openings.
摘要:
An aortic stent-graft may include a tubular graft extending from a proximal end to a distal end, the graft comprising a proximal sealing portion and an intermediate portion, wherein a proximal end of the intermediate portion abuts the distal end of the proximal sealing portion. At least one sealing stent may be attached to the proximal sealing portion. A first fenestration window is disposed in the intermediate portion. The first fenestration window has a length determined by the equation L=1.23*D−24 millimeters, where L is the length of the first fenestration window. D is between about 24 millimeters and 45 millimeters.
