ENDOPROSTHESIS FOR ENHANCED SIDE BRANCH ACCESS
摘要:
An endoprosthesis includes an elongated tubular member including a filament forming circumferential rows having a plurality of knitted loops and intermediate rungs extending between adjacent knitted loops. The tubular member includes at least one window and may include a plurality of anti-migration loops adjacent the at least one window and configured to shift between first and second positions when unconstrained. Making the endoprosthesis includes forming the plurality of knitted loops and intermediate rungs in a first row of loops and rungs, extending the filament to form a second row of loops and rungs interwoven with the first row, and forming the at least one window without cutting the filament. Placing the endoprosthesis includes positioning the endoprosthesis within a body lumen adjacent a branch lumen, expanding the tubular member to span the branch lumen, and shifting at least some anti-migration loops toward the second position and into the branch lumen.
