  • Publication number: 20210077247
    Abstract: A multi-component stent-graft system (10) comprises first, second, and third generally tubular stent-grafts (20, 22, 24), which are configured to assume radially-expanded states. The first stent-graft (20) is shaped so as to define a first lateral opening (34) when in its radially-expanded state. The second stent-graft (22) is shaped so as to define a second lateral opening (44) when in its radially-expanded state. The first and second stent-grafts (20, 22) are configured such that the second stent-graft (22) forms a blood-impervious seal with the first stent-graft (20) around the first lateral opening (34) when the second stent-graft (22) is disposed therethrough, and the first and the second stent-grafts (20, 22) are in their radially-expanded states.

  • Patent number: 10888413
    Abstract: A multi-component stent-graft system is provided, which includes a first stent-graft, which is configured to assume radially-expanded and radially-compressed states; and a second stent-graft, which is configured to assume radially-expanded and radially-compressed states. A delivery tool includes an outer tube, in which the first and the second stent-grafts are initially positioned at respective axial sites within the outer tube, in their radially-compressed states without being fixed to each other. Other embodiments are also described.

  • Patent number: 10201413
    Abstract: A multi-component stent-graft system includes a first stent-graft, and second, third, and fourth branching stent-grafts. The first stent-graft is shaped so as to define, when in a radially-expanded state, proximal and distal superior first lateral openings facing in a first radial direction, and a distal inferior first lateral opening facing a second radial direction generally opposite the first radial direction.

    Abstract: A multi-component stent-graft system (10) comprises first, second, and third generally tubular stent-grafts (20, 22, 24), which are configured to assume radially-expanded states. The first (20) is shaped so as to define a first lateral opening (34) when radially-expanded. The second (22) is shaped so as to define a second lateral opening (44) when radially-expanded. The first and second (20, 22) are configured such that the second (22) forms a blood-impervious seal with the first (20) around the first lateral opening (34) when the second stent-graft (22) is disposed therethrough, and the first and the second (20, 22) are radially-expanded. The second and the third (22, 24) are configured such that the third (24) forms a blood-impervious seal with the second (22) around the second lateral opening (44) when the third (24) is disposed therethrough, and the second and third (22, 24) are radially-expanded. Other embodiments also described.

  • Patent number: 8870938
    Abstract: An endovascular sealing stent-graft is configured to initially be positioned in a delivery catheter in a radially-compressed state, and to assume a radially-expanded state upon being deployed from the delivery catheter. The stent-graft includes a structural member, which includes a plurality of structural stent elements, and which, when the stent-graft assumes the radially-expanded state, has a generally tubular shape, and is shaped so as to define at least two elongated indentations, each of which extends rostrally to a rostral end of the structural member, and is tapered in a caudal direction until the indentation converges with the generally tubular shape of the structural member, and each of which has an axial length of at least 2 cm. The stent-graft further includes a fluid flow guide, which is coupled to at least a portion of the structural member, and covers at least a portion of each of the elongated indentations.

  • Patent number: 8709068
    Abstract: A multiple-component expandable endoluminal system for treating a lesion at a bifurcation including a self expandable tubular root member having a side-looking engagement aperture, a self expandable tubular trunk member comprising a substantially blood impervious polymeric liner secured therealong; both having a radially compressed state adapted for percutaneous intraluminal delivery and a radially expanded state adapted for endoluminal support.
