    摘要: Low radial force stents with good resistance to migration are described comprising microstructured surfaces which generate inward radially directed grip to a lumen. In particular, stents are described for deployment within biological lumens where a novel combination of low outwardly directed radial force and resistance to shear slippage within the lumen is achieved by hierarchical microstructured surfaces which provide non-frictional grip to the luminal surface. Combinations of microstructured surfaces which combine low radial force frictional grip and non-frictional grip which do not rely on axially dependent changes in stent diameter or stent oversizing are described. These combinations of microstructured surfaces when placed on the outer surface of a stent provide a non-migrating stent. The hierarchical levels of the disclosed microstructures may themselves by composites of microstructures, which may or may not be self-similar to other hierarchical levels.

    摘要: Disclosed are implant and method for gradually restricting vascular blood flow in a host blood vessel. The implant N comprising an elongated body and at least one holding member. Implant body comprising a flow restricting portion enclosing a variable minimal internal diameter. Holding member is configured for restraining implant body to maintain the variable minimal internal diameter in a first minimal internal diameter, and to physically yield voluntarily after a first predetermined average duration of being continuously subjected to internal human body conditions, thereby releasing and allowing the implant body to elastically deform voluntarily such that the variable minimal internal diameter changes to a second minimal internal diameter, smaller than the first minimal internal diameter.
