Abstract: A stent having a substantially tubular body is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the stent provides a scaffold having a plurality of interconnected struts forming a plurality of radial axial rows of radial support cells and a plurality of flexible axial rows of flexible support cells. The plurality of radial axial rows and flexible axial rows are disposed in an alternating pattern along a circumferential axis of the stent. A center axis of each radial axial row and flexible axial row is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the stent. Each radial axial row is arranged so as to be offset along the longitudinal axis of the stent from each adjacent radial axial row. Each radial support cell is formed from four of the interconnected struts of the scaffold which are arranged so as to be symmetrical along both the longitudinal axis and the circumferential axis of the stent.

Abstract: A stent device is described. The stent device includes a stent and a stent delivery system. The stent includes a cylindrical portion forming a stent frame having an outer lattice network of a plurality of interconnecting segments configured to exert a radial force against an inner wall of a blood vessel. The stent delivery system includes a locking mechanism configured to engage with the proximal end of the stent frame when covered in a sheath, and a push wire. The locking mechanism includes a proximal retention disk and a distal retention disk, the distal retention disk having a plurality of slots configured to engage with an equal plurality of struts formed on a proximal end of the stent.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a thrombectomy device comprising a cylindrical proximal portion, a dome-shaped distal portion, a transition portion, and a coil. The cylindrical proximal portion forms a stent frame having a first lattice network of a first plurality of interconnecting segments. The first plurality of interconnecting segments is configured to exert a first radial force against an inner wall of a blood vessel. The dome-shaped distal portion forms a protection cage having a second lattice network of a second plurality of interconnecting segments. The second plurality of interconnecting segments is configured to exert a second radial force against the inner wall of the blood vessel. The transition portion is arranged between the stent frame and the protection cage. The coil is formed at a distal end of the protection cage.
