A stent graft system includes a first layer of graft material, a second layer of graft material, one or more stent members, one or more reducing belts, and a release wire. The one or more stent members are located between the first layer of graft material and the second layer of graft material. The second layer of graft material is formed to have a corresponding channel over each of the one or more stent members. The one or more reducing belts each include a loop at both ends and each is located in a corresponding channel around a corresponding one of the stent members. The release wire passes through both loops of each of the one or more reducing belts when the one or more stent members are in a compressed state. Pulling the release wire allows for the stent graft system to radially expand.

Stent graft systems with restraints in channels and methods thereof

A system for internal iliac preservation includes a catheter having a distal catheter portion and a proximal catheter portion; a first guidewire having a proximal portion extending from the proximal catheter portion, a distal portion and a medial portion disposed between the proximal portion and the distal portion; a first outer sheath slidably disposed over distal catheter portion; and an integrated second delivery system disposed within the outer sheath at the distal catheter portion. The integrated second delivery system includes a second guidewire; an expandable stent-graft disposed over a lumen of the second guidewire, and a slidable connector slidably disposed over the medial portion of the first guidewire, where the second guidewire is slidably engaged with the slidable connection to permit movement of the integrated second delivery system along the first guidewire when the first outer sheath is retracted from distal catheter portion.

Internal iliac preservation devices and methods

A flexible stent-graft has polymeric, non-textile graft layers with a stent disposed between or among the graft layers while allowing for movement of the stent between or among the layers. The stent includes an undulating wire stent disposed within pockets of non-secured graft portions between graft layers. The stent may be a ribbon stent having a ribbon or ribbons of graft layers.

Stent-graft with improved flexibility

Endovascular systems for deployment at branched arteries include a main tubular graft body deployable within a main artery including a proximal end and an opposed distal end. The proximal and distal ends have a tubular graft wall therein between. A plurality of inflatable channels are disposed along the main tubular graft body, and at least one stent segment is disposed along the tubular graft wall of the main tubular graft body. The plurality of inflatable channels are configured to be inflatable with an inflation medium. The at least one stent segment is disposed between two or more adjacent inflatable channels of the plurality of inflatable channels.

Endovascular graft systems and methods for deployment in main and branch arteries

Endovascular stent grafts in accordance with various embodiments include one or more channels on a main body graft, the one or more channels defining a passageway for receiving one or more branch portions for treating branch vessels. In various embodiments, the one or more channels on the main body graft may be abluminal, adluminal, or weaved, with respect to a stent structure of the main body graft.

Endovascular systems, devices, and methods allowing for branch device placement in channel of main graft

Catheter systems and methods for deployment of an endoluminal prosthesis in a body lumen of a patient while maintaining control of a position of the endoluminal prosthesis during the deployment process. Some of the systems and methods are configured to minimize frictional forces of components of the catheter systems during deployment procedures.
