Title:

ACTIVELY CONTROLLABLE STENT, STENT GRAFT AND HEART VALVE, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2021183145

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To provide an actively controllable stent, stent graft and heart valve, and a method of controlling the same.SOLUTION: Sealable and repositionable implant devices are provided to increase the ability of endovascular grafts and valves to be precisely deployed or re-deployed, with better in situ accommodation to a local anatomy of a targeted recipient anatomic site, and with the ability for post-deployment adjustment to accommodate anatomic changes that might compromise the efficacy of the implant. A surgical implant includes a self-expanding stent of a shape-memory material set to a given shape. The stent has a wall with a portion having a first thickness and a second portion having a thickness greater than the first thickness. The second portion defines a key-hole shaped longitudinal drive orifice.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 169
