  • Publication number: 20240164824
    Abstract: The disclosure includes a controller and a sheath having an open proximal sheath end coupled to the controller, an open distal sheath end configured for insertion into a vascular system of a patient, and a working lumen extending through the sheath. The system may include a wire extending from the controller through the working lumen, the wire having a distal wire end configured to mechanically treat a vessel wall of a treatment segment, a length of the distal wire end defining a length of the treatment segment. The working lumen may be configured to slidably receive the wire and allow for a passage of a fluid about the wire therethrough to chemically treat the treatment segment. When the system receives a first input the distal wire end may mechanically treat the vessel wall. When the system receives a second input and/or a third input, the system may deliver the fluid.

  • Publication number: 20230172735
    Abstract: An expandable stent is configured to be deployed in a body lumen. The expandable stent includes a wall, and the wall includes a first longitudinal edge extends and a second longitudinal edge. A ratchet finger is coupled to the wall. The ratchet finger is configured to permit the first longitudinal edge to slide thereover in a first direction upon radial expansion of the expandable stent. The ratchet finger is also configured to engage the first longitudinal edge and inhibit relative motion between the ratchet finger and the first longitudinal edge in a second direction opposite the first direction, and the ratchet finger thereby inhibits radial contraction of the expandable stent.
