摘要:
An iliac branch device includes an iliac septum limb configured to be deployed in the common iliac artery. The iliac septum limb includes a graft material, a proximal end, and a septum. The graft material defines a common iliac lumen extending between the proximal end and the septum, the graft material and the septum defining an internal iliac lumen and an external iliac lumen. The iliac branch device including the iliac septum limb has several modes of adjustability. In addition, the iliac branch device has a relatively small cross-sectional area allowing the iliac branch device to treat relatively small iliac aneurysms in short common iliac arteries. This allows the iliac aneurysms to be treated at very early stages of the disease.

An endograft (102) includes a stent structure. An optical shape sensing (OSS) system (104) is associated with the endograft and is configured to measure shape, position and/or orientation of the stent structure. The OSS system (104) is connected to the stent structure and removable in a plurality of ways. Methods for deployment and removal of the OSS system are also provided.
摘要:
A vascular endoprosthetic device (200) configured for placement inside the aortic arch, in particular for treating aneurysms and/or dissections, which device (200) has a tubular structure and a construction allowing a modular insertion and deployment, which device (200) comprises: - a distal component (201) configured to be placed in the distal part of the aortic arch or in the descending thoracic aorta, which distal component (201) has a main body portion (210) with an internal lumen and comprises a first and a second docking branches (231, 232) housed inside said lumen at a proximal end part thereof, which first and second docking branches (231, 232) are integral to, or fixed to with, said main body portion (210); - a first proximal component (230), configured to be placed in the innominate artery; - a second proximal component (202), configured to be placed in the ascending aorta, wherein said distal (201), first proximal (230) and second proximal (202) components are provided as distinct elements and are apt to be assembled in the aortic arch during an insertion and deployment procedure, wherein each of said first (211) and second (202) proximal components has a respective proximal portion (212, 222) and a respective distal portion (211, 221), such distal portion (211, 221) having a reduced cross-section with respect to the respective proximal portion (212, 222), wherein each of said distal portions (211, 221) of said first (230) and second (202) proximal components is configured so that, once the device (200) is deployed in situ, such distal portion is received in a respective first (231) or second (232) docking branch of said distal component (201), so that said docking branch (231, 232) acts as a docking site for the respective first (230) or second (202) proximal component, wherein said second proximal component (202) has a diameter configured to accommodate the whole cardiac output, and wherein the endoprosthetic device is configured so that, once deployed in situ, blood flows from the heart through said second proximal component (202) and into said second docking branch (232) of said distal component (201), and from the latter into said proximal portion (211) of said first proximal component (230) and from that retrogradely into said distal portion (212) of said first proximal component (230).
摘要:
A vascular prosthesis system comprises an introducing system for introducing a vascular prosthesis (100) intraluminally into a blood vessel (10) and expanding an outer end thereof in situ. The introducing system comprises a first placing device (5) for placing and temporarily holding an external fixation body (60) outside the blood vessel. The introducing system also comprises a second placing device (90) for placing and expanding in situ the vascular prosthesis (100) in the blood vessel. The first and second placing devices (50,90) are provided with mutually co-acting registering means which give an indication detectable externally of the blood vessel of a correct registering of the expandable outer end (110) of the vascular prosthesis (100) in the blood vessel relative to the fixation body (60) outside the blood vessel.
摘要:
Monocusp prosthetic valve (1) comprising the flap (2) made of biocompatible material, and the stent (3) made of biocompatible or bio-absorbable material, said stent (3) having meshes (3') defining holes (3") with profile represented by any closed curve or polygonal shape, said prosthetic valve (1) being characterized in that the flap (2) is sewn on said stent (3) by means of pairs (6) of suture points that are longitudinally extended along opposite surfaces of said flap (2).
摘要:
A system for endoluminal delivery of a medical device, wherein the medical device includes a bifurcated stent graft having a trunk, a first leg and a second leg shorter than the first leg. The system includes a sheath having a tubular wall having a cylindrical inner surface defining a lumen for receiving the stent graft therein to constrain the stent graft toward a delivery configuration suitable for endoluminal delivery, and a generally cylindrical core member extending through the lumen. The core member has a first annular surface for engaging an end of the first leg. The core has a second annular surface for engaging an end of the second leg while at least the end of the second leg remains constrained by the sheath.
摘要:
Disclosed is a side branch vessel device, which is placed in the side branch vessel before the deployment of a stent graft in the main vessel. The side branch vessel device either comprises means to create a fenestration in the stent graft when deployed, or otherwise, such means are introduced adjacent thereto. Once the stent graft is deployed, the side branch vessel device is transformed to an opened configuration, which aids in holding the fenestration at the point where the side branch vessel branches off from the main vessel.
