Abstract

A permanent expandable intraluminal tubular stent supporting device intended to maintain the walls of anatomical body channels or vessels, the stent being expandable within the vessel by an angioplasty balloon associated with a catheter thereby dilating and expanding the lumen of a vessel. The stent comprises an arrangement of connecting members interconnected by a plurality of radially expandable, elongatable members. Upon inflation of the balloon, the stent expands in both radial and longitudinal directions in relation to the amount of radially-outwardly directed force by the balloon.

Claims (16)

1. A permanent, expandable tubular stent comprising:
a uniform arrangement of connecting members in a cylindrical configuration of an initial length and of an initial diameter about a longitudinal axis, each connecting member having a proximal end and a distal end and being oriented with said proximal end nearer a first end of said stent than said distal end which is nearer an opposite, second end of said stent, the arrangement of connecting members comprising:
at least three sets each of an equal plurality of circumferentially-spaced connecting members, each said set being coaxially-arranged along a longitudinal axis and being axially displaced a predetermined distance from each adjacent set, the connecting members of each successive set being radially-interspaced with respect to the connecting members of the preceding set with said predetermined distance being such that the proximal ends of the connecting members of each successive set overlap the distal ends of the connecting members of the preceding set;
a plurality of first elongatable members each disposed between the proximal ends of each pair of circumferentially-adjacent connecting members of the first set;
a plurality of second elongatable members each disposed between the distal ends of each pair of circumferentially-adjacent members of the last set;
a plurality of third elongatable members each disposed between the distal ends of the connecting members of each set and the proximal end of each circumferentially-adjacent connecting member of each successive set;

said first, second and third elongatable members being sufficiently plastically deformable such that internal application of a generally uniformly-distributed, radially outwardly directed force causes said first and second elongatable members to radially expand and said third elongatable members to deform and elongate uniformly in a radially diagonal direction, thereby causing the connecting members of each set to move radially outwardly while the connecting members of adjacent sets move axially away from one another, thus, increasing the length of the stent from said initial length and the diameter of the stent from said initial diameter in relation to the amount of said radially outwardly directed force, said stent being flexible about said longitudinitial axis and said initial diameter being such as to permit intraluminal delivery of said stent into a body passageway.
2. The stent of claim 1, wherein each said first, second and third elongatable member consists of a plurality of intermediate sections joined at right angles.
3. The stent of claim 1, wherein each said first, second and third elongatable member consists of a plurality of intermediate sections arranged in a serpentine pattern.
4. The stent of claim 1, wherein said connecting members and said first, second and third elongatable members are integrally formed and have uniform thin-walled thickness in the radial direction.
5. The stent of claim 4, wherein said connecting members and said first, second and third elongatable members are formed from the same material.
6. The stent of claim 5, wherein said material is a low-memory, more plastic than elastic, bio-compatible material.
7. The stent of claim 6, wherein the material is selected from the group of materials consisting of stainless steel, silver, gold, tantalum, titanium, NiTi alloy and thermoplastic polymers.
8. The stent of claim 1, wherein the elongated length of the third elongatable members is approximately half the longitudinal length of the connecting members.
9. A permanent, expandable tubular stent comprising:
a uniform arrangement of connecting members in a cylindrical configuration of an initial length and of an initial diameter about a longitudinal axis, each connecting member having a proximal end and a distal end and being oriented with said proximal end nearer a first end of said stent than said distal end which is nearer an opposite, second end of said stent, the arrangement of connecting members comprising:
at least three sets each of an equal plurality of circumferentially-spaced connecting members, each said set being coaxially-arranged along a longitudinal axis and being axially displaced a predetermined distance from each adjacent set, the connecting members of each successive set being radially-interspaced with respect to the connecting members of the preceding set with said predetermined distance being such that the proximal ends of the connecting members of each successive set are axially-spaced from the distal ends of the connecting members of the preceding set;
a plurality of first elongatable members each disposed between the proximal ends of each pair of circumferentially-adjacent connecting members of the first set;
a plurality of second elongatable members each disposed between the distal ends of each pair of circumferentially-adjacent members of the last set;
a plurality of third elongatable members each disposed between the distal ends of the connecting members of each set and the proximal end of each circumferentially-adjacent connecting member of each successive set;
said first, second and third elongatable members being sufficiently plastically deformable such that internal application of a generally uniformly-distributed, radially outwardly directed force causes said first and second elongatable members to radially expand and said third elongatable members to deform and elongate uniformly in a radially diagonal direction, thereby causing the connecting members of each set to move radially outwardly while the connecting members of adjacent sets move axially away from one another, thus, increasing the length of the stent from said initial length and the diameter of the stent from said initial diameter in relation to the amount of said radially outwardly directed force, said stent being flexible about said longitudinitial axis and said initial diameter being such as to permit intraluminal delivery of said stent into a body passageway.
10. The stent of claim 9, wherein each said first, second and third elongatable member consists of a plurality of intermediate sections joined at right angles.
11. The stent of claim 9, wherein each said first, second and third elongatable member consists of a plurality of intermediate sections arranged in a serpentine pattern.
12. The stent of claim 9, wherein said connecting members and said first, second and third elongatable members are integrally formed and have uniform thin-walled thickness in the radial direction.
13. The stent of claim 12, wherein said connecting members and said first, second and third elongatable members are formed from the same material.
14. The stent of claim 13, wherein said material is a low-memory, more plastic than elastic, bio-compatible material.
15. The stent of claim 14, wherein the material is selected from the group of materials consisting of stainless steel, silver, gold, tantalum, titanium, NiTi alloy and thermoplastic polymers.
16. The stent of claim 9, wherein the elongated length of the third elongatable members is approximately ten times the longitudinal length of the connecting members.
