  • Publication number: 20140222132
    Abstract: An endoprosthetic device for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms using suprarenal fixation. A stent ring is anchored in an area above the renal arties using self-flaring barbs that project during the nitinol expansion process. Sutures extend from the stent ring to an area below the renal arties to a bifurcated trunk portion comprising a nitinol fabric on a non-kinking frame. The bifurcated trunk is sealed proximal the iliac arteries and includes iliac leg holders having self-flaring retention struts for non-traumatic holding of iliac leg prosthetics. Suprarenal fixation and collapsible cells having retention projections and barbs that only flare during the nitinol expansion process assist in lowering the devices profile and sheathability for percutaneous delivery and may provide for recapturing the anchored device.

  • Publication number: 20140081370
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to medical devices, particularly to a SDS (stent delivery system) that incorporates a spring stent stop. The delivery system, owing to a novel stent stop construction, can be assembled, with the crimped stent in place within the outer sheath of the device, to enable the device to be assembled with considerably greater efficiency by eliminating processes and component(s).
