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 article, a stent and stent delivery system was designed for implantation at the ostium of a vessel, which is specifically designed to be able to create and maintain patency of lesions such as renal artery ostial stenoses.

TL;DR: In this paper, an internal shielding of a vascular anastomosis that undesirable perivascular vibration is avoided is created from a stiff or possibly moderately elastic, nonresorbable, biologically inert, non-moistenable and sterilizable material.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for hermetically sealing the reservoirs of microchip devices and the substrate assemblies in a hermetic packaging structure is presented. But the method is limited to the case where the primary substrate has a front side and a back side, and each reservoir is loaded with molecules or a secondary device.

TL;DR: In this paper, an improvement in the use of bioresorbable polymers for implantation into living tissue is described, characterized in that a particular molecular weight range is selected that demonstrates an unexpectedly beneficial effect on cell growth and regeneration of function.
