Abstract: A retrievable stent is a self-expandable or balloon-expandable stent which is very useful for treating intracranial sidewall aneurysms and can be retrieved especially when the stent is not deployed appropriately. The stent comprises a proximal retrieving structure and a distal self-expandable or balloon-expandable stent or covered stent for the treatment of sidewall aneurysms of cerebral blood vessels.

Abstract: A retrievable covered stent has a self-expandable covered stent on the distal end and is particularly useful for occluding the neck of an aneurysm located in the vicinity of bifurcations or trifurcations of vessels. The said retrievable covered stent comprises a proximal retrieving structure and a proximal self-expandable supporting stent for supporting and retaining a smaller self-expandable covered stent on the distal end which is used to seal the neck of a bifurcation aneurysm.
