Abstract
Embodiments of stents for treating congenital heart defects and related delivery systems are provided. The devices described herein are configured for insertion into a blood vessel lumen to maintain a patency of a conduit and to balance flexibility and radial resistive force for delivery through a microcatheter. The device described herein are configured to transition from a crimped configuration to an expanded configuration. In the crimped configuration, a crimped diameter of the devices is less than about 0.7 mm. In the expanded configuration, the devices are configured to have an expansion diameter of greater than about 3 mm measured at the body section. The devices described herein are configured to have a radial resistive force greater than about 0.20 N/mm at 1 mm of compression in the expanded configuration. Various devices having these features are described herein.
