Abstract
An elastic dialysis stent comprises a central restrictor segment located between two tapered segments. The tapered segments are tapered from a larger diameter suitable for joining to tubular graft segments or attaching the stent in a graft or fistula, to the narrower diameter of the elastic central restrictor segment which provides a stenosis. The central restrictor is made of an elastic material which enables the stent to be radially expanded by a balloon catheter to a larger diameter for passage of endovascular devices through the stent for repair of blockages on the venous side of the stent. When the balloon catheter is deflated and removed, the elastic properties of the stent cause it to retract to its original stenotic configuration.
