ORIENTABLE IMPLANTABLE DEVICE AND METHOD
20220054119 · 2022-02-24 ·

An intravascular system having a first catheter having a first non-circular transverse cross-sectional configuration and a first delivery device configured for insertion into the lumen of the catheter. The first delivery device includes an implantable medical device and an elongated member supporting the first medical device such that the first elongated member and the first medical device are movable through the lumen of the first catheter. The first elongated member has a second non-circular transverse cross-sectional configuration corresponding to the first non-circular transverse cross-sectional configuration to thereby inhibit rotation of the first elongated member within the catheter and control orientation of the first medical device relative to the catheter.

STENT

A stent includes a strut formed into a cylindrical shape and extending in an axial direction. The strut includes outer peripheral portions extending around the axial and circumferential directions of the cylindrical shape. The outer peripheral portions are spaced apart from one another with gaps formed between adjacent outer peripheral portions. The strut includes a connection portion connecting the outer peripheral portions to each other in one of the gaps formed by the adjacent outer peripheral portions. The outer peripheral portions and the connection portion of the strut are integrally formed of a biodegradable polymer A portion of the strut includes a fragile portion which is snore fragile than other portions of the strut.

Lumen Stent and Implant

A lumen stent (100) and an implant are provided. The lumen stent includes a tubular body (11), an inner branch (12) and an outer branch (13) which are respectively communicated with the tubular body (11). The tubular body (11) includes a first body segment (111), a tapered segment (112) and a second body segment (113) which are connected in sequence. The tapered segment (112) is provided with an outer branch window (110b) and an inner branch window (110a). The proximal end of the outer branch (13) is connected to the outer branch window (110b). The distal end of the inner branch (12) is connected to the inner branch window (110a). The area of the inner branch window (110a) is larger than that of the outer branch window (110b). The beneficial effects are as follows: since the area of the inner branch window (110a) is larger than that of the outer branch window (110b), most of blood flow can rapidly pass through the inner branch (12), so that the blood flow pressure of the outer branch (13) is reduced, and the distal end of the outer branch (13) is prevented from tilting and touching an inner wall of a tumor cavity.
