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, the plaque stabilizing agents described in this paper stabilize vulnerable plaques at and downstream of an implantation site can reduce the occurrence of rupture of these plaques.

TL;DR: In this paper, the shape surfaces of catheter balloons have been used to deliver drugs to a site in the vessel, provide for agents which allow for determination of blood flow and definition of the vessel walls, and sampling of the materials at the site for diagnosis.

TL;DR: A balloon catheter with a first balloon member and a second distal expandable member is described in this article. But this is not the case for a catheter having a single balloon member.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rotatable drive hub and a pleating head for folding a catheter balloon are described. But the pleating heads are not considered in this paper, as they are used in our work.
