METHODS AND DEVICES FOR DEPLOYING AN IMPLANT IN CURVED ANATOMY
摘要
Methods and devices for deploying an endoluminal implant in a curved vessel. The devices include steerable catheters having a control member that extends to the distal end and operates to bend the catheter. In other cases, the stent includes a longitudinal adjustment member attached near the leading edge of the stent and operates to shorten or lengthen the stent and thereby induce a curvature. The stent is carried in a distal region of the catheter that is advanced into a curved region of a vessel. The catheter is bent and/or the stent is curved using the longitudinal adjustment member, and the stent is deployed to achieve uniform wall contact with the endoluminal surface of the vessel at the lesser curvature.
