Patent number: 9173751Abstract: The invention relates to an expandable stent comprising circumferentially adjacent modules. The modules comprise longitudinally adjacent slide-and-lock radial elements which permit one-way sliding of the radial elements from a collapsed diameter to an expanded/deployed diameter, but inhibit radial recoil from the expanded diameter.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: REVA MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Eric V. Schmid, John D. Nguyen, Steven C. Howard, Orlando M. Padilla, Andrew Morris, Robert F. Eisele, Daniel Moore, Thomas R. Jackson, Joan Zeltinger

Patent number: 8512394Abstract: An intraluminal, balloon expandable stent for implantation in a body lumen is disclosed. The present invention provides a lumen support stent with an unobstructed through-lumen for use in a blood vessel. A constraining mechanism is provided for securely maintaining the stent in the collapsed condition during delivery. The stent is preferably formed with a series of interconnected slide and lock mechanisms for permitting movement from a collapsed condition to an expanded condition and inhibiting radial recoil from the expanded condition. The stent may be formed from a shape memory alloy for providing crush-recovery after deployment.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2010Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Reva Medical Inc.Inventors: Eric V. Schmid, Andrew Morris, John Nguyen, Robert F. Eisele, Steven C. Howard, Orlando M. Padilla, Philip J. Simpson

Patent number: 8016854Abstract: A strut assembly to be used in conjunction with an embolic filtering device has varying strut thicknesses, with the thickness selected based at least in part on the flexing characteristics of the particular portion of the strut assembly. The strut assembly is formed with patterns having flexing portions and stable portions, with the flexing portions contributing to the flexibility of the strut assembly during delivery and recovery in the patient's vasculature. The stable portions remain relatively unflexed and stiff when being delivered or recovered from the patient's vasculature. The stable portions provide strength and increased radiopacity to the strut assembly which is needed when the strut assembly is deployed in the body vessel. The flexing portions act much like a mechanical hinges in providing the needed flexibility to resiliently bend when being delivered through tortuous anatomy of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2008Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Abbott Cardiovascular Systems Inc.Inventors: John F. Boylan, Orlando M. Padilla, Christopher J. Tarapata

Publication number: 20040133261Abstract: A catheter assembly for delivering an endoprosthesis within a body lumen. A delivery catheter assembly is provided which includes a stent with biocompatible material thereon for preventing the stent from expanding or otherwise dislodging from the catheter. The stent with biocompatible material is secured to an expandable member of a delivery catheter, whereby inflation of the expandable member causes the biocompatible material to fail, thereby permitting the stent to expand and deploy in a body lumen.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2003Publication date: July 8, 2004Inventors: Steve Bigus, Orlando M. Padilla, Brent Belding

Patent number: 6635083Abstract: The invention is directed to an expandable stent for implanting in a body lumen, such as a coronary artery, peripheral artery, or other body lumen. The invention provides for a an intravascular stent having a plurality of cylindrical rings connected by undulating links. The plurality of cylindrical rings may assume an undulating shape that is similar to the shape of the undulating links. The stent has a high degree of flexibility in the longitudinal direction, yet has adequate vessel wall coverage and radial strength sufficient to hold open an artery or other body lumen.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2001Date of Patent: October 21, 2003Assignee: Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.Inventors: E Tina Cheng, Suzanne Wallace George, Timothy A. Limon, Orlando M. Padilla
