Stent
The present invention teach an overlapping covered stents with uncovered segments capable of effectively diverting blood flow away from an aneurysm or fistula while allowing blood to flow to its normal vascular territory of healthy tissue distal to the targeted treatment area and still resulting in blood stasis and thrombus formation inside the aneurysm or fistula.
1 . An intravascular stent device comprising:
(a) a first cylindrical stent body and second cylindrical stent body;
(b) wherein said first cylindrical stent body fits snugly inside of said second cylindrical stent body
(c) wherein said first cylindrical stent body and said second cylindrical stent body maintain a similar orientation;
(d) wherein said first cylindrical stent body and said second cylindrical stent body are made of a solid composite of a polymer; and
(e) wherein said composite is perforated with holes of sufficient size, location and orientation to allow blood to pass from said interior first cylindrical stent body to the exterior of said second cylindrical stent body.
2 . A stent according to claim 1 wherein the stent body has a metal surface.
3 . A stent according to claim 1 wherein the stent body has a polymeric surface.
4 . A stent according to claim 1 wherein the solid composite includes a plurality of perforated layers.
5 . A stent according to claim 1 wherein additional cylindrical stent bodies are place insider of said first cylindrical stent body.
6 . A stent according to claim 1 wherein additional cylindrical stent bodies are placed outside of said second cylindrical stent body.
