Definitions
- the invention relates to a stent for implantation in or around a hollow organ with marker elements from a radiopaque material of the kind mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, and to a method for its production.
- Stents are usually used in tubular hollow organs in order to expand or keep them open. They form a tube-like structure, which in their tube interior, the flow of body fluids or other physiological substances such. As food allows, wherein the Röh ⁇ renäußere rests against the surrounding hollow organ and this supports. They usually have a latticed or spiral
- Structure consisting of wall segments. Grid openings are formed between and within the wall segments which make it possible for this structure to grow into the tissue at its implantation site.
- Such stents are known per se and described for example in DE-A 197 46 88 or in WO 03/063 733.
- stents are mounted on a balloon catheter, which is then introduced into the hollow organ to be treated.
- This may be, for example, a coronary artery affected by a stenosis.
- the balloon catheter is then dilated in order, on the one hand, to open the plaques causing the stenosis to or through the vessel wall press and thereby eliminate the stenosis and on the other hand to place the unfolded by the dilatation of the balloon catheter stent, which then ensures that the hollow organ retains its clearance.
- self-expanding stents are used, which are introduced into the hollow organ in a first state of small diameter and then expand on their own in place into a second state with a larger diameter by an intrinsic spring force or are actively expanded.
- stents in question which are made of a shape memory material.
- rivet-shaped marker elements made of X-ray opaque material, which are in eye-shaped receiving elements of the lattice-shaped wall structure of the stent be fit form fit.
- This type of design entails the risk that the rivet loses its positive fit due to mechanical stress or corrosion, z. B. in the.
- the rivet head breaks, and then dissolves, escapes into the lumen of the stent and enters the hollow organ where it can cause serious complications, such as the occlusion of a blood vessel.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a stent with marker elements made of an X-ray opaque material, which ensures permanent localizability within the hollow organ, and whose elasticity is not impaired by the marker elements. In addition, it should be ensured that the marker elements under no circumstances escape into the lumen of the stent and can enter the hollow organ.
- a stent of the generic type which has a tubular grid wall running around a longitudinal axis made of elastic, in particular radially elastic wall segments which are arranged circumferentially one behind the other along the longitudinal axis and interconnected via connecting elements.
- the stent has tube ends located at opposite axis ends.
- the wall segments have spring elements with an elastic structure and receiving elements that are connected to the spring elements.
- the receiving elements have cavities or recesses in the form of cavities, gaps, holes and / or recesses in which marker elements are arranged from a radiopaque material.

- the marker elements are thus arranged in the receiving elements similar to the capstone of a Roman vault.
- the marker elements can not move in the tapering direction of the cross-sectional areas of the recesses, even if they break or corrode, and therefore can under no circumstances escape into the lumen of the stent.
- the marker elements can in any case come off against the direction of tapering of the cross-sectional areas of the recesses, ie in the direction of the wall of the hollow organ where they cause no damage.
- the recesses and the marker elements have round cross sections, and the marker elements are formed radially conically in the form of truncated cones.
- round cross sections is to be understood as meaning circular, oval and elliptoid cross sections.
- the recesses and the marker elements have substantially rectangular cross-sections, and the marker elements are conical in the form of truncated pyramids.
- substantially rectangular cross-section "cuts" should also fall such cross sections, which go back to rectangles whose corners were rounded.
- the marker elements are welded on their side remote from the longitudinal axis with the receiving elements and locked in this way permanently in the recesses.
- welding points are set in the transition region between the receiving elements and the marker elements, for which purpose a laser can be used, for example.

- the receiving elements are curved in a circular arc around the longitudinal axis of the stent transversely to their longitudinal direction.
- the support effect at the tube ends may be impaired, since less supporting material is available here than in the region between the tube ends.
- the length of the effective supportive area of the stent is therefore usually less than the absolute length of the stent itself.
- terminal spring elements are arranged circumferentially at the tube ends in addition to the receiving elements. These terminal spring elements may be wider than the previously described spring elements in the region between the tube ends.
- the receiving elements and the terminal spring elements are arranged cir ⁇ cumferentially alternately with each other.
- the advantage of these embodiments is that the tube ends of the stent in the deployed state exert a better support on the vessel wall, with the result that the length of the effect of the stent, ie the region in which e.g. a restenosis can be effectively prevented is significantly greater.
- the terminal spring element and the receiving elements are designed and / or arranged such that the ends of the elements pointing in the direction of the tube or stent ends have a circular, transversely to the longitudinal axis Describe arranged circumferential line, so it is arranged flush as it were.
- This arrangement has the particular advantage that when placing the stent, i. when pushing forward with the help of a catheter, the pressure is distributed more evenly over the entire end peripheral surface of the stent.
- the risk that a sealed marker peels off or even breaks greatly reduced.
- the risk is reduced that individual terminal elements bend and possibly cut into the vessel wall.
- the terminal spring elements are preferably wider, in particular at least twice as wide, configured as the wall segments.
- the connecting elements and the spring elements form at least one continuous longitudinal web which extends in the longitudinal direction of the stent and the at least one component in the axial direction for receiving a compressive or tensile stress in the longitudinal direction.
- the wall segments are particularly effectively positioned to each other, at the same time a change in length of the stent is reliably prevented.
- the longitudinal web or the longitudinal webs has a helical wall surrounding the lattice wall or have.
- This type of configuration can be produced particularly easily from a hollow cylinder by means of cutting, in particular laser and / or water jet cutting.
- length changes due to compressive or tensile stresses or by compression of the stent are avoided as part of the forces occurring in the intended use reliably.
- Ver ⁇ connecting elements are formed widened area compared to the spring elements.
- This type of configuration can be easily produced by means of laser cutting.
- Zu ⁇ before the deployment of the stenthuisele ⁇ elements are then formed, for example, slightly S-shaped.
- the connecting elements In the unfolded state with a larger diameter, the connecting elements then have at least one component arranged parallel to the longitudinal web and support this in the effect described above.
- the connecting elements have twice the width of the spring elements. This results in a particularly simple cutting pattern.
- the connecting elements are shorter than the spring elements and expediently have a maximum length of 3/4, preferably a maximum 2/3 of the length of a spring element. Particularly preferred are lengths of 1/2 or less of the length of a spring element.
- the radiopaque marker elements of the stent according to the invention preferably consist of a material which is selected from the group consisting of gold, platinum, silver, tantalum, plastic doped with barium sulfate and plastic doped with bismuth trioxide.
- a material which is selected from the group consisting of gold, platinum, silver, tantalum, plastic doped with barium sulfate and plastic doped with bismuth trioxide may as well be used.
- the spring, connecting and / or receiving elements of the stent according to the invention particularly preferably consist of a shape memory material.
- the shape memory materials to be used are selected from the group consisting of nickel-titanium alloys and copper-zinc-aluminum alloys.
- the nickel-titanium alloy nitinol has proven to be particularly suitable.
- a hollow cylinder made of such material can, for example by means of a cutting technique, such. B. by means of laser or water jet, a substantially consisting of spring elements, connecting elements and receiving elements existing stent are cut out, the subsequently unfolded, the Harmon ⁇ diameter of the hollow organ to be treated corresponding shape can be impressed on known for Formge ⁇ memory materials. If the stent thus produced is subsequently compressed to the state of small diameter and, for example, introduced into a stenosed blood vessel with the aid of a catheter, the stent can be brought back into the previously impressed shape by heating to above the so-called conversion temperature. Optionally, this unfolding process can be assisted by use of a balloon catheter or completely replaced by it.
- the spring, connecting and / or receiving elements can also consist of materials which are selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, plastic, or self-dissolving materials. Since these materials have no shape memory properties, the stents made from them have to be unfolded in situ with the aid of a balloon catheter. In particular, the self-dissolving materials are advantageous if a stent is not to be permanently applied.
- the surface of the stent according to the invention is processed, in particular finished, smoothed, and / or polished. In this way, a smooth surface results, which in particular satisfies the requirements of the biocompatibility of the stent.
- a method for producing a stent according to the invention in which the conical radiopaque marker elements are inserted from the side of the stent facing away from the longitudinal axis into the receiving elements and on this side by setting welding points on the receiving elements be attached.

Due to the described offset, the longitudinal web on a grid wall 12 of the stent 10 helically encircling shape.
- the stent 10 produced in this way is expanded into a second state, which has a larger diameter than the first state. This second state is then impressed on the stent 10 in a known manner.
- the stent 10 thus prepared is then compressed into a state having a small diameter. After the desired positioning, the stent 10 can then be expanded again by heating above the so-called conversion temperature into the imprinted form of the second state.
- FIG. 2 shows an enlarged partial view of the end region of the stent 10 shown in FIG. 1 with the connecting elements 14, the spring elements 16, the recesses 18 of the receiving elements 17 and the marker elements 19 arranged therein, as well as the terminal spring elements 20.
- the marker elements 19 are fastened in the receiving elements 17 by means of welding points 21 on the side of the stent facing away from the longitudinal axis.

- the radiopaque marker element 19 has a conical design and is arranged radially to the longitudinal axis 11 in the recess 18 of the receiving element 17. The marker element 19 is thus similar to the capstone of a Roman vault in the receiving element 17 Auf ⁇ arranged.
- the marker element 19 can not move in the direction of tapering of the cross-sectional areas of the recess 18, even if it breaks or corrodes. At most, it can come off against the direction of the rejuvenation of the cross-sectional surfaces of the recess 18, that is to say in the direction of the wall of the hollow organ, where it causes no damage.
- the recess 18 and the marker elements 19 can have round or substantially rectangular cross sections, and that the marker elements can be formed radially conically in the form of truncated cones or conically in the form of pyramidal stumps.
- round cross-sections should be understood to mean circular, oval and elliptoid cross-sections.
