A stent including a tubular body formed of one or more interwoven wires, a first anchor member disposed adjacent the first open end of the stent, a second anchor member disposed adjacent the second open end of the stent, and at least one divider disposed between the first and second anchor members. The first and second anchor members and the divider extend radially outward from the tubular body to divide the tubular body into at least a first saddle region extending between the first anchor member and the divider and a second saddle region extending between the second anchor member and the divider.

Described herein are radially self-expanding stents. The disclosed stents can be used to widen arteries and/or veins of a patient to counteract or combat narrowing of the arteries and/or veins associated with certain congenital diseases, such as aortic coarctation. As an example, the disclosed stents are configured to be placed at or near a narrowed portion of the aorta where the stent produces a radial outward force on the aorta. The radial force produced by the stent widens the aorta and causes the stent to expand with the aorta. The disclosed stents can be crimped to relatively small sizes for placement in small patients (e.g., less than about 10 kg in size) and can be configured to expand to widen the aorta and to accommodate growth in the patient.

A diametric adjustment mechanism for an implantable medical device including a track defining a series of diametric setpoints, including a first diametric setpoint and a second diametric setpoint, a rider engaged with the track such that the rider is selectively movable along the track from the first diametric setpoint to the second diametric setpoint and from the second diametric setpoint to the first diametric setpoint, and a biasing element biasing the rider toward the first diametric setpoint when the rider is at the second diametric setpoint.

An esophageal atresia bridge device including a proximal anchor, a distal anchor, and a brace extending between the proximal anchor and the distal anchor. The brace permits the proximal anchor to move toward the distal anchor to apply a controlled tension that pulls the esophagus together and stretches the esophagus over time.
