  • CLOSURE DEVICES, VASCULAR REPAIR ASSEMBLIES, AND METHODS FOR REPAIRING VEIN VALVE INSUFFICIENCY
    Publication number: 20240000456
    Abstract: A closure device for repairing a vein valve insufficiency includes a tube formed of extracellular matrix including elastin fibers and one or more anchoring elements. The tube is radially expandable from a retracted configuration to an expanded configuration and the tube is naturally biased to the retracted configuration. The one or more anchoring elements anchor the tube to a vessel wall of a vessel upon expansion of the tube to the expanded configuration wherein the tube circumferentially contacts the vessel wall of the vessel and is anchored thereto by the one or more anchoring elements. Retraction of the tube to the retracted configuration draws the vessel wall of the vessel radially inward to repair the vein valve insufficiency.
