<p>A method and apparatus for repairing a vessel at a bifurcation, such as an aorto-ostium, without obstructing blood flow through the bifurcation. delivery system having an anchor mechanism for positioning an expandable ostial stent within a diseased portion of a bifurcation so that the tubular body of the stent is seated within a side branch to the bifurcation, thereby repairing the vessel at the bifurcation without occluding blood flow. The anchor mechanism includes a plurality of wing-like members for holding the stent at a desired location in the side-branch of the main vessel. The stent delivery system may be used with a dilation catheter prior to deploying the anchor mechanism and stent.</p> |
