STENT ASSEMBLIES INCLUDING PASSAGES TO PROVIDE BLOOD FLOW TO CORONARY ARTERIES AND METHODS OF DELIVERING AND DEPLOYING SUCH STENT ASSEMBLIES

摘要

An anchor stent assembly to be used with a valve component includes a generally tubular frame having a first end and a second end, the frame defining a central passage and a central axis. A secondary passage is defined between n inner surface of the frame and an outer surface of an inner rib disposed closer to the central axis than the frame. An extension tube is disposed through the secondary passage. The extension tube includes an extension tube lumen having a first opening at a first end of the extension tube and a second opening at a second end of the extension tube.

1. A stent assembly having a radially compressed delivery configuration and a radially expanded deployed configuration, the stent assembly comprising:
a generally tubular frame having a first end and a second end, the frame defining a central passage and a central axis; a secondary passage, defined between an inner surface of the frame and an outer surface of an inner rib closer to the central axis than the frame; and an extension tube extending through the secondary passage, the extension tube including an extension tube lumen having a first opening at a first end of the extension tube and a second opening at a second end of the extension tube.
