Expandable, Intraluminal Stents
US Patent:
5702419, Dec 30, 1997
Filed:
Sep 21, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/309359
Inventors:
Joel L. Berry - Winston-Salem NC
Carlos M. Ferrario - Winston-Salem NC

Assignee:
Wake Forest University - Winston-Salem NC
International Classification:
A61M 2900
US Classification:
606198
Abstract:
An expandable, intraluminal stent is provided which can be inserted into a body passage, and is capable of supporting an intact vascular graft. The stent is a thin-walled, generally tubular member having a plurality of rigid support tabs spaced uniformly around the perimeter of the two ends of the stent. A plurality of spacer bars span longitudinally between the rigid support tabs at one end of the stent and corresponding rigid support tabs at the other end. The spacer bars serve as struts to prevent longitudinal expansion or contraction of the stent so that the length of the stent is maintained. Plastically deformable connecting links interconnect adjacent rigid support tabs around each end of the stent to enable the stent to be expanded to an enlarged diameter. The stent can be expanded with a delivery system which applies a radially, outwardly extending force from the exterior of the stent. Alternatively, the stent can be expanded using an angioplasty balloon.
