A catheter assembly may include a main balloon arranged to reside within the main vessel, and a branch balloon configured to extend from the main vessel into the branch vessel. A stent may be situated around the main balloon and may include a branch aperture at a location between proximal and distal open ends of the stent. The branch balloon may extend from within the stent, through the branch aperture, and into the branch vessel. The branch balloon, when inflated, may extend into the branch vessel. The main balloon, when inflated, may also expand the stent within the main vessel. In some arrangements, the branch balloon, when inflated, can function as an anchor within the branch vessel that resists radial and axial movement of the stent relative to the branch vessel and main vessel during expansion of the stent by the main balloon.

Bifurcation stent delivery system and methods

Segmented articulatable stent of open structure comprised of end-connected struts of first and second lengths making up first and second segments with angular interconnects between adjacent first and second segments.

Longitudinally flexible expandable stent

Improved stent configurations exhibiting limited recoil, resistance to compression and improved longitudinal flexibility.

Stent configurations

The invention is directed to a stent that delivers multiple therapeutic regimens from different regions of the stent.

Bifurcated stent with drug wells for specific ostial, carina, and side branch treatment

A stent is adapted to be implanted into the lumen of a vessel. The stent includes struts and a resonating circuit tuned to the resonating frequency of a magnetic resonance imaging system. The resonant circuit is constructed of at least one inductor and at least one capacitor. The inductor is wound about at least one of the struts.

MRI resonator system with stent implant

Stent comprised of a plurality of serpentine bands of different frequencies and/or amplitudes.
