A stent graft, including multiple wavy rings. The stent graft includes, in a circumferential direction, a region A and a region B connected to the region A. Each wavy ring includes a first wavy section located in the region A, and a second wavy section located in the region B. The wave included angle of the first wavy section is about 70°-120°; the ratio of the wave height of the first wavy section to the spacing between adjacent first wavy sections is 1/4-3; the wave included angle of the second wavy section is 30°-60°, the ratio of the wave height of the second wavy section to the spacing between adjacent second wavy sections is 1/4-3/2, and the ratio of the wave height of the first wavy section to the wave height of the second wavy section is greater than or equal to 1/3 and less than 1.

The invention relates to a medical device, the medical device comprising a balloon catheter, a first stent, and a second stent; the balloon catheter having a shaft and an inflatable balloon mounted to the shaft at the distal end the balloon having a distal portion having a first outer diameter and a proximal portion having a second outer diameter, wherein the first diameter is smaller than the second diameter and a transition region located between the distal portion and the proximal portion, a first stent having a first nominal diameter mounted on the distal portion of the balloon and a second stent having a second nominal diameter mounted on the proximal portion of the balloon, a distal portion of the second stent overlapping a proximal portion of the first stent, wherein the proximal end of the first stent is positioned proximal to the distal end of the second stent, the medical device further comprising a pre-cannulation means providing a passage from the interior of the second stent to the exterior of the first stent passing the stent overlapping portion between the inner surface of the second stent and the outer surface of the first stent.

The disclosure relates to a medical kit for the treatment of vascular malformations, in particular aneurysms and/or fistulas, having a permanently implantable covering device, in particular a stent, for covering the vascular malformation, the covering device having a tubular, self-expandable lattice structure and a covering made of an electrospun fabric, the covering being connected to the lattice structure and overlapping the lattice structure at least in part such that, when implanted, the covering is placed over the vascular malformation; and an embolisation means, which can be applied by a feed means in the implanted state for treatment of the vascular malformation, the covering forming a porous membrane which can be penetrated by the feed means for application of the embolisation means and which is designed to lie against the outer periphery of the feed means in the penetrated state.

A luminal stent has a tube body and a skirt surrounding the tube body. The skirt has a flexible connecting section and a stent graft connected to a proximal end of the flexible connecting section. A distal end of the flexible connecting section is sealed and connected to the outer surface of the tube body. A proximal end of the stent graft is suspended and provided with a first radial support structure. When the flexible connecting section is radially compressed, at least a part of the first radial support structure is bent towards a direction distant from the tube body. Also provided is a stent system including the luminal stent. The stent system and the luminal stent can prevent type III endoleaks.

Apparatus for progressively dilating the lumen of a narrow natural vessel such as an iliac artery and implanting a tubular device enabling access through the dilated lumen to conduct subsequent procedures via the dilated lumen, includes an inflatable integrated balloon locatable at least partially within the tubular device, the tubular device having a length L1 providing a self-expanding tubular body having at least a portion including stents, so that when the integrated balloon is removed the dilated lumen of the natural vessel remains dilated and supported by the tubular device.

The invention relates to a multiple stent comprising at least two coaxially arranged stents (1, 3) and at least one membrane (2, 4), wherein a first stent (1) being arranged on the inside and a second stent (3) being arranged on the outside, wherein a first membrane (2) is arranged on the inside of the first stent (1) and/or a second membrane is arranged on the outside of the second stent (3), wherein the respective membrane ends (2A, 2B; 4A, 4B) are folded around the respective ends of the stent (1, 3) on which they are arranged, in such a way that the membrane ends (2A, 2B; 4A, 4B) are clamped in place between two stents (1, 3).

Some embodiments are directed to methods and systems for percutaneously treating dissections in a patient's vasculature, such as, without limitation, the aorta. The method can include deploying a catheter containing a collapsed anchoring element, frame, and cover through a first vessel to an entry point of the dissection. The anchoring element can be secured to the second branch vessel. The frame can be expanded in the first branch vessel. The cover can be unfolded over at least a portion of the entry point. The cover then reduces blood flow into the entry point.
