Methods and devices for conduit occlusion
The present invention comprises systems, methods and devices for the delivery of compositions for occluding or of means for opening conduits. The implantable occlusive material may be delivered pre-formed or in situ cured and, may be a resorbable material that supports tissue ingrowth that eventually replaces the material leaving little or no original material in place. The delivery system is positioned to allow for placement of the occlusive material into the body conduit. Use of delivery systems, methods and devices for re-opening an occluded body conduit are also included.
Mobile external coupling for branch vessel connection
An endovascular prosthesis includes a tubular body and a mobile external coupling. The tubular body includes a graft material and stents coupled thereto, and forms a lumen therethrough. The mobile external coupling includes a graft material, extends outwardly from the tubular body, and is generally frustoconically shaped. The mobile external coupling includes a base coupled to the tubular body, a top spaced from the tubular body, and a coupling lumen disposed between the base and the top that is in flow communication with the body lumen. An annular support wireform is coupled to the mobile external coupling, and is formed into a sinusoidal configuration having a plurality of opposing first crowns and second crowns, the first crowns of the support wireform extending around of the top of the mobile external coupling. The coupling graft material extending between the second crowns of the support wireform and the tubular body is unsupported.

Stent graft used for interventional treatment of abdominal aortic diseases
The invention discloses a stent graft used for interventional treatment of abdominal aortic disease, comprising a tube body composed of a tubular covering and a plurality of annular stents, and the tube body comprises a first tube body and a second tube body that arranged in sequence from the proximal end to the distal end, wherein the diameter of the first tube body is greater than diameter of the second tube body; the first tube body and the second tube body are connected by a transition section as a whole; the diameter at central part of the transition section is smaller than the diameter of the proximal end of the transition section and the diameter of the distal end of the transition section; a plurality of fenestrations are disposed on the first tube body and the transition section. The invention provides a stent graft having a smaller diameter of the portion near the branch vessels or branch stents after released, and has more space for accommodating branch vessels or branch stents for interventional treatment of abdominal aortic diseases.
MEDICAL DEVICE INTRODUCER ASSEMBLY PARTICULARLY FOR BRANCHED MEDICAL DEVICES
An introducer assembly includes a distal sheath and a proximal sheath. A splitting element is located at a proximal end of the distal sheath and is arranged to split the distal sheath in a distal direction, so as to deploy first a branch element of a medical device and thereafter the distal end of the medical device. The proximal sheath can then be retracted to release the proximal end of the medical device. Deployment of the medical device from the branch element first enables accurate positioning of the branch element prior to deployment of the main body portion of the medical device.

Single multibranch stent device assembly and method
The techniques of this disclosure generally relate to an assembly including a single multibranch stent device. The single multibranch stent device includes a main body, a proximal coupling extending radially from the main body, and a distal coupling extending radially from the main body. The main body, the proximal coupling, and the distal coupling are permanently coupled to one another and the single multibranch stent device is a single piece. By forming the single multibranch stent device as a single piece, the single multibranch stent device can be deployed in a single deployment thus simplifying the deployment procedure.
