Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stent according to the features in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Stents are used for permanent or even temporary splinting of body tubes that are closed or narrowed as a result of a stenosis.
  • the stents have a tubular metal support structure, which consists of several ring segments. These are formed from segment struts that are endlessly connected to one another via transition sections. Ring segments adjacent in the longitudinal axis of the stent are coupled by connecting struts.
  • the stents are introduced into the intracorporeal vessel in the area of the stenosis by catheter techniques and similar insertion aids and are set down there, the support structure being able to be expanded from a crimped installation state to a support state that is enlarged in diameter.
  • This expansion process can take place automatically in the case of so-called self-expanding stents, but it can also be brought about with the aid of a suitable tool, for example a balloon catheter.
  • the stents act as a vascular prosthesis to support the inner walls of the vessel.
  • the stent has to be removed after a relatively short residence time in the body tube of a few months.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a stent which, with good vascular tolerance, has a sufficiently high level of flexibility in the support state and which can be crimped well for removal from a body tube.
  • the stent according to the invention has a tubular support structure which can be expanded from an initial state into a support state.
  • the support structure consists of ring segments which follow one another in the longitudinal axis of the stent and which are formed from segment struts which adjoin one another endlessly in the circumferential direction of the support structure. Adjacent ring segments are coupled by connector struts.
  • each connector strut has a wavy curved axial section and an in Has circumferential direction of the support frame pointing V-shaped configured compensation section.
  • the stent In the stent according to the invention, at least at one end all transition sections of the segment struts are each connected to the next adjacent ring segment via a flexibly shaped connector strut. For removal, the stent can be gripped at this end and pulled into a catheter with a smaller diameter.
  • the design according to the invention enables problem-free constriction of the supporting structure without the sections of the supporting structure projecting or protruding outward blocking the return process. The stent slides into the catheter with a constant constriction movement. Even glued or glued stents can be easily returned to a catheter.
  • the rounded head ends ensure gentle contact of the front ends of the stent on the vessel wall.
  • the vessel walls are consequently less traumatized both when a stent is inserted and when it is removed.
  • the support structure has a shaft design without straight strut sections running parallel to one another, the segment struts being able to widen in a continuous contour course from the central region to their ends. This shape of the segment struts leads to an evenly distributed stress curve in the segment struts.
  • the stent is made of metal. All deformable medically possible metals or metal alloys can be used here, for example stainless steel, cobalt alloys (Phynox), pure iron or in particular nickel-titanium alloys (Nitinol).
  • the stent according to the invention can also be of interest as a plastic stent in practice. In particular, the use of bioabsorbable plastics is planned.
  • the stent is then preferably designed as an injection molded part.
  • the compensation sections configured in a V-shape each have two legs that converge into parallel end sections and the inclined length sections of the legs also have a curved length profile.
  • the compensating sections all have the closed end in the same circumferential direction of the support structure.
  • the compensation sections are directly connected to the transition sections of an adjacent ring segment.
  • the width of the connector struts is preferably less than the width of the segment struts of the ring segments.
  • the transition sections have an axially projecting widened head end at the end of the ring segment, as seen in the longitudinal axis of the stent, adjacent head sections being arranged offset with respect to one another in the longitudinal stent axis. Every second head end is connected via a coupling section to a transition section, the coupling section having concavely rounded side grooves. When the scaffolding is installed, the side grooves surround the neighboring head ends in some areas and cover them.
  • the advantageously rounded head ends ensure gentle contact of the front ends of the stent on a vessel wall.
  • the vessel walls are less traumatized both when a stent is placed and when it is removed.
  • the head ends cover them adjacent transition sections. This significantly reduces the risk of injury to the surrounding vessel walls.
  • the functionality of the head ends can be further improved if they are designed in the manner of eyes and provided with a recess.
  • the head ends can thus be used to grip the stent with a suitable tool or to thread or loop a thread through the head ends.
  • the thread ends are preferably deflected into the interior of the support structure and connected to one another there by a connector, preferably made of an X-ray-visible material.
  • the thread ends can be gripped on the connector to remove the stent.
  • the thread is constricted by pulling and the looped ring segment of the support structure is pulled together, after which the stent can be removed from the body tube. This procedure greatly facilitates the stent explantation process.
  • the invention is described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing.
  • the drawing shows an end E of a stent 1 according to the invention in a development in the expanded support state.
  • the stent 1 is made of metal and has a tubular support structure 2 consisting of a plurality of ring segments 3, 4, 5 following one another.
  • the length of a stent 1 can fundamentally be different. As mentioned, only an end section is shown and not the total number of ring segments 3, 4, 5 of the stent 1.
  • the ring segments 3, 4, 5 are formed by wavy-curved segment struts 6, 7 which run obliquely to the longitudinal axis L of the stent 1 and which endlessly adjoin one another via transition sections 8, 9 in a zigzag shape.
  • the ring segments 3, 4, 5 are coupled to one another by connecting struts 10. It can be seen that each transition section 8 of the ring segment 3 on the end in the longitudinal axis L of the stent via a connector strut 10 is connected to the transition section 9 of the adjacent ring segment 4.
  • Each connector strut 10 has a wave-shaped curved axial section 11 and a compensating section 12 configured in a V-shape and pointing in the circumferential direction U of the supporting frame.
  • the compensating sections 12 are each arranged in the space between the ring segments 3, 4 and 4, 5 adjacent with an axial distance a.
  • the width B A of the axial sections 11 is dimensioned thinner than the width Bs of the segment struts 6, 7.
  • the compensating sections 12 each have two legs 15, 16 which converge into parallel end sections 13, 14.
  • the inclined longitudinal sections 17, 18 of the legs 15, 16 have a curved length profile.
  • the connector struts 10 each extend from the transition section 8 in the deepest 19 of two mutually closed segment struts 6, 7 of a ring segment 3 or 4 to the transition section 9 at the tip 20 of two mutually closed segment struts 6, 7 of the adjacent ring segment 4 or 5, the Compensating sections 12 are connected directly to the transition sections 9.
  • the compensating sections 12 all have their closed ends 21 in the same circumferential direction U.
  • the end transition sections 8 on the end ring segment 3 each have an axially projecting widened head end 22, 23 with a concave rounded end section 24.
  • U adjacent head ends 22, 23 are arranged offset from one another.
  • the head ends 22 are connected to the transition sections 8 via a coupling section 25, so that the head ends 22 project axially from the head ends 23.
  • the coupling sections 25 have concavely rounded side grooves 26.
  • the head ends 22 grip around the adjacent head ends 23 and cover them.
  • the head ends 23 are thus protected or covered by the head ends 22.
  • the vessel walls are less traumatized both when a stent 1 is inserted and when it is removed.
  • the rounded head ends 22, 23 ensure that the stent 1 is placed gently against the vessel wall when it is placed.
  • the head ends 22, 23 are designed like eyes and have recesses 27.
  • the stent 1 can be gripped at the recesses 27 for removal from a body tube and pulled into a catheter in the direction of the arrow P.
  • the proximal end E can also be constricted, for example with the aid of a thread looped through the recesses 27.
  • a stent 1 Of particular advantage for the explantation of a stent 1 is the inventive design of the support structure 2 with the wave-shaped segment struts 6, 7 and the configuration of the connector struts 10 with the wave-shaped axial section 11 and the compensation section 12, the axial sections 12 being thinner than the segment struts 6, 7. This supports the flexibility and sliding properties of the stent 1. It is also essential that all transition sections 8 at the free end E of the stent 1 or of the ring segment 3 are each connected to the adjacent ring segment 4 via a connecting strut 10. This means that the stent 1 can be contracted and pulled in the direction of the arrow P without the stent geometry preventing the explanting process from being blocked. The stent 1 can thus be gripped and removed from a body tube in the direction of the arrow P.
