Patent number: 11452629Abstract: A system and method for a stent delivery system, the delivery system having a catheter and a balloon coupled to a distal portion of the catheter. The catheter with the radially expandable member is inserted into a cavity in a mold. Heat and pressure are applied for a period of time which inflates the balloon and imparts a shape memory to a portion of the balloon. The balloon is removed from the cavity of the mold with a shape memory.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2021Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Advanced Bifurcation Systems Inc.Inventors: Ashur Bourang, Henry Bourang

Patent number: 11426297Abstract: Methods for crimping a stent on an expandable member of a delivery catheter, and devices and methods for treating a bifurcation are disclosed. A method for crimping includes positioning a stent having a first portion and a second portion over the expandable member, and non-uniformly crimping the stent to the expandable member. The method can include routing an elongate shaft under the second portion of the stent and through the side hole so as to be routed external to the first portion. The stent second portion can be crimped so that the elongate shaft can be slidably disposed relative to the stent second portion prior to deployment of the stent.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Advanced Bifurcation Systems Inc.Inventors: Henry Bourang, Mehran Khorsandi
