  • Composite stent with regioselective material and a method of forming the same
    Publication number: 20040098117
    Abstract: A composite stent and methods for making the same are provided. In one embodiment a regioselective band is formed in situ on the stent. In one embodiment, the band is made of a regioselective material having a high creep compliance and having a second modulus of elasticity lower than that of a structural material comprising the stent. In one embodiment, the regioselective material is drip-coated or dip-coated on the stent near the ends. In one embodiment, the regioselective material includes a therapeutic agent, which may be a radioactive emitter, an anti-platelet drug, or an anti-proliferative drug.

  • Stent having overlapping struts
    Patent number: 6579310
    Abstract: An intravascular stent having struts which overlap, at least partially, when the stent is compressed. The overlapping struts allow the stent to be crimped to a smaller initial delivery diameter than may be achieved with non-overlapping designs for given metal density. The stent has a reduced delivery diameter which allows for the construction of reduced profile stent-delivery systems, which thereby allow for the stenting of smaller vessels than has heretofore been possible.
