| titleOfInvention | Implantable vascular and endoluminal stents |
| abstract | A vascular or endoluminal stent adapted for deployment in a vessel or tract ofna patient to maintain an open lumen therein is formed from a metal open-ended tube which isnthe single component of the stent. The tube has a multiplicity of holes cut by laser through itsnwall. The through-holes are encompassed by serpentines that constitute the wall, thenserpentines extending sinusoidally each in multiple 360° wavelengths in a single turn about thenaxis of the tube and juxtaposed in plural substantially identical segments disposed withnregularity along the axis. Each segment has a length equal to the distance between crests andntroughs of the sinusoid. Adjacent serpentines are joined together at crest and trough,nrespectively, so that their interconnections are 180° out of phase relative to their wavelength.nThe serpentines and interconnections thereof are shaped throughout for optimum uniformnexpansion of the stent during deployment thereof, including a notch substantially symmetricallynlocated at either side of the junction of the respective crest and trough of the interconnectionsnbetween adjacent serpentines. The serpentines are substantially devoid of sharp corners andnedges, except at the notches, and each serpentine has an oval cross-section. The regularity ofnthe segments is interrupted at least once along the axis of the tube by serpentines orientedndifferently from the others, used to maintain the tube's length substantially invariant despitenradial expansion of the stent during deployment. The serpentines are pre-stressed and annealednbefore deployment of the stent to ease deployment and enhance symmetrical radial expansion.nThe exterior surface of the tube is longitudinally tapered from its mid-point toward its ends, andnsubstantially rounded surfaces prevail throughout the tube. |
