Bifurcated stent and delivery system

TL;DR: In this paper, a radially expandable control member is used to push the tubular prostheses outward against the sheath during deployment, thus reducing the overlap between adjacent prostheses.

TL;DR: In this article, a radially expandable generally tubular stent body with proximal and distal opposing ends with a body wall having a surface extending therebetween is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a prosthesis for implantation at a native semilunar valve includes a prosthetic distal valve, which includes a pliant material configured to collapse inwardly towards a longitudinal axis of the prosthesis during diastole and to open outwardly during systole, and a distal fixation member configured to be positioned in a downstream artery of the subject.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first stent body has a substantially conical shape and a first end having a greater diameter than a second end when fully expanded, and is free of any means for connecting to any other stent bodies.

TL;DR: In this paper, an elongate structure matching the inner wall of the vessel to be reinforced was proposed. But this device was not suitable for the reinforcement of the aorto-iliac bifurcation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a main-vessel stent and a delivery system for implanting a stent in the main vessel of a bifurcated vessel is described.

TL;DR: In this article, a stent deployment system includes a tubular member having a first end and second end and a generally longitudinal opening between the first and seconds ends, and an elongate retainer is removably receivable within the apertures to retain the stent in the tubular members and to release the Stent from the tube when removed from the aperture.

TL;DR: In this paper, a balloon catheter with first and second arms attached to one end of the body is described, and a common inflation lumen extends along the body and branches into each of the arms.
