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: A medical balloon may be configured by at least partially inflating the medical balloon and forming at least one primary lobe in the balloon, and the primary lobe may be manipulated to form at least two secondary lobes therefrom.

TL;DR: A tracheal tube assembly includes a dual balloon system upstream from the trachea cuff and located externally to the patient, where a pre-determined amount of air may be injected through a one-way valve into the innermost balloon which is of relatively low compliance as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a balloon is carried at the distal end of an elongate shaft, and a mechanism is included for providing a generally open perfusion passage while the balloon is in an inflated state.

TL;DR: An improved catheter assembly and method are provided for delivering guide wires to vessels in this article, which has the feature of containing two guide wire lumens in a single catheter to prevent wire wrapping and crossing of the wires.
