US Patent:

8337543, Dec 25, 2012

Filed:

Nov 5, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/982465

Inventors:

Gary Jordan - Litchfield NH, US
Gary J. Leanna - Holden MA, US
Dean Molloy - Kilrush Hollymount, IE
Paul K. Norton - Lunenburg MA, US

Assignee:

Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. - Maple Grove MN

International Classification:

A61F 2/06

US Classification:

623 112, 623 153

Abstract:

A system for intraluminally delivering and deploying stents and other prostheses includes an outer catheter, an inner catheter movable axially relative to the outer catheter, and an anchoring device mounted to a distal end region of the inner catheter. The anchoring device includes one or more control features that interact with a linking structure proximally disposed on the prosthesis, preferably including one or more loops. The control features and loops interact by surface engagement to anchor the prosthesis relative to the inner catheter in a nonfrictional manner, thus to maintain lower axial prosthesis deployment and retraction forces. In one version of the anchor, the control features extend radially outward from a sleeve. In another version, the control features are formed in respective recesses which also receive the loops or other linking structure.

US Classification:

623001230

Abstract:

An implantable stent includes a stent retrieval member for repositioning or retrieval of the stent after it has been implanted into a bodily lumen. The stent includes a distensible tubular stent having a tubular structure having a tubular wall defined by an interior surface and an exterior surface and having opposed open ends; and a stent retrieval member comprising an elongate member comprising a generally circular perimetric base and a shaped projection having first and second spaced apart members extending acutely or perpendicularly from the base and connected by an apical portion. Force exerted on the shaped projection causes contraction or expansion of the circular base. The circular base is securably attached to one of the open ends of the stent, and the shaped projection extends longitudinally beyond this open end of the stent.
