Embodiments of medical devices, such as stents, for expanding a duct are described. The medical device can include a flexible body with a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis. The flexible body can further include a flexible elongate member defined by a gap extending longitudinally within the body. This member can expand radially relative to the longitudinal axis. Further, the device can define an eccentric lumen, and at least a portion of the eccentric lumen is disposed off the longitudinal axis. |
