摘要:
A system for treating an aneurysm comprises an elongate flexible shaft and an expandable member. An expandable scaffold is disposed over the expandable member and may be expanded from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration. A double-walled filling structure is disposed over the scaffold and has an outer wall and an inner wall. The filling structure is adapted to be filled with a hardenable fluid filing medium so that the outer wall conforms to an inside surface of the aneurysm and the inner wall forms a substantially tubular lumen to provide a path for blood flow. In the expanded configuration the scaffold engages the inner wall of the filling structure. A tether is releasably coupled with the filling structure and the flexible shaft thereby constraining axial movement of the structures relative to each other.

A system for treating an aneurysm in a blood vessel comprises a docking scaffold having with upstream and downstream ends, and a central passageway therebetween. The upstream end engages the blood vessel upstream of the aneurysm. A portion of a first and second scaffolds are slidably received in the central passageway such that an outside surface of the first and second scaffolds engage an inside surface of the docking scaffold. A double-walled filling structure has outer and inner walls and the filling structure is adapted to be filled with a hardenable fluid filling medium so that the outer wall conforms to an inside surface of the aneurysm and the inner wall forms a substantially tubular lumen to provide a path for blood flow therethrough. The double-walled filling structure is coupled with at least one of the first and second leg scaffolds in expanded configuration.

A prosthesis comprises a tubular body that is expandable from a contracted configuration to a radially expanded configuration. The tubular body has a total length and comprises a first section, a second section and a central section disposed therebetween. The total length of the tubular body in the expanded configuration is at least 95% of the total length of the tubular body in the contracted configuration. The three sections have a plurality of tubular rings, each with a plurality of struts having a length and coupled together to form a series of peaks and valleys. A connector couples adjacent tubular rings together. The length of the central section struts is different than the length of the other struts and the central section is coupled with both the first and second sections.

摘要:
A switch apparatus and method according to the invention provides a carrier-class switching platform with a highly optimized data path and distributed signaling stacks to achieve high-density differential voice services. Incoming voice calls of any media type (TDM voice/fax, VoIP, VoATM, VoFR) are packetized and adapted for egress transmission of the same or another media type according to the service plan profile of the parties, and/or the instantaneous availability or cost of bandwidth resources. All calls are switched in an ATM switching core with QoS characteristics that can also be determined based on service plan profile. A call server handles call setup and management functions, as well as call signaling. Advantageously, the call server provides signaling relay functions to further support and enable the media conversion of voice calls. In an exemplary implementation of the invention, up to about 6720 concurrent VoIP calls can be supported in a single platform, with a latency of only about 17 msec ingress and 25 msec egress.
