Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for treating a blood flow passage are discloses herein. In one example, a treatment device includes an expandable element configured to be positioned within the passage and a reinforcing element. The expandable element may have an expanded configuration in which the expandable element defines a lumen therethrough. The reinforcing element may be positioned within the lumen of the expandable element. The reinforcing element may be coupled to the expandable element such that expansion of the expandable element causes the reinforcing element to radially expand, thereby creating a perfusion lumen through the device.
