| titleOfInvention | EXPANSION STENT CONTROL ACTUATED BY FLEXIBLE MICROELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEMS (MEMS) |
| abstract | An automatically controlled expansion stent (100) having an expansible stent body (101), actuation means (104) for expanding the stent body (101), and control means (318) for actively controlling the actuation means (104). The stent body (101) is substantially tubular and includes material layers (105) covering a plurality of radial expansion trusses (102). The stent (100) employs MEMS motors (104) under the control of a programmable logic device (318) to expand the trusses (102) and the stent body (101). Force from the motor (104) is communicated to the expansion trusses through interconnects (103), which pivotally connect the trusses (103) and provide channels (320) for pull wires (304) extending from the motors (104) to the trusses (103). The trusses (103) comprise a plurality of hinged links (114) which produce symmetrical expansion of the stent body (101) when actuated by the MEMS motor (104). |
