  • Expandable endoprostheses, systems, and methods for treating a bifurcated lumen
    Patent number: 9402754
    Abstract: An endoprosthesis for treating a bifurcated lumen. The distal end of the endoprosthesis can include at least two wings and at least two troughs so the endoprosthesis can adequately scaffold the ostium of a bifurcated lumen by at least partially straddling the carina of the lumen bifurcation. The distal end of the endoprosthesis can also be configured to have increased expandability to help allow conformity to the anatomy of a bifurcated lumen.
