  • Publication number: 20210330446
    Abstract: An endovascular graft including a stent graft and a surgical graft is provided. The stent graft can include an elongated body having a collapsed and expanded configuration and include a frame structure covered by a compression sleeve that retains the elongated body in the collapsed configuration until deployment of the stent graft. The endovascular graft can include a first cuff member sized and dimensioned to extend into a lumen of an aortic arch branch vessel when the endovascular graft is implanted in a subject. The frame structure can include a backstop sized and dimensioned to extend into the first cuff member when the endovascular graft is implanted in the subject. The surgical graft can be partially attached to the stent graft at a proximal end portion thereof.

  • Patent number: 11076954
    Abstract: A gradually-expandable stent includes a base ring completely encircling a central valve-accepting area. A plurality of uprights is provided. Each upright includes two longitudinally extending upright struts. Each upright strut has a strut base directly connected to the base ring and a strut tip directly attached to the other strut tip of the upright strut at a rounded upright apex. The upright apex is longitudinally spaced from the base ring. At least one expansion feature is associated with the base ring and gradually expands to enlarge the central valve-accepting area toward a maximum valve-accepting area responsive to growth of the patient over an extended dwell time.

  • Patent number: 8734387
    Abstract: An expansion device includes an inflatable balloon moveable from an unexpanded configuration to an expanded configuration configured to pass through soft tissue between two adjacent teeth of a patient when in the unexpanded configuration. The an expansion device also includes an inflation tube having one end connected to the inflatable balloon and another end serving as an entry port for an inflation fluid. The inflatable balloon has a triangular shape when in the expanded configuration.
