Expandable vascular implant for patient vessels with self-expandable and balloon-dilatable regions
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11844680B2) discloses an expandable vascular implant designed for implantation into a patient's vessels. The implant can transition from a compressed state to an expanded state and consists of a hollow cylindrical main body formed by a tubular lattice structure. This lattice structure includes different materials in distinct regions - a self-expandable first region made of stent springs and a balloon-dilatable second region constructed from a mesh with filamentary elements. The implant also features a marker containing a radiopaque material for enhanced visibility during procedures.
The patent further details an insertion system for deploying the vascular implant, comprising a retraction sheath for compression, and a catheter with a dilation body. The method for delivering and releasing the implant involves loading it into the insertion system, inserting it into the target vessel, and releasing it by dilating the dilation body and retracting the sheath. The patent also specifies variations in materials, diameters, and lengths of the implant, catering to different patient needs and vessel sizes. Overall, the patent aims to provide an innovative solution for treating vasoconstriction or vessel ruptures effectively and efficiently.
