Abstract

An axially compressible bare stent for an aorta, formed by interleaving at least two wires having different diameters, i.e., a first wire and a second wire, in an overlapping manner. In a natural release state, the bare stent has a metal coverage of at least 30%. The first wire has a diameter of 20-150 μm, and the second wire has a diameter of 150-600 μm. During the use in the treatment of aortic aneurysms and/or aortic dissection lesions, low liquid permeability and a strong radial support force are provided at a desired location in an aorta by means of the axial compressibility of the bare stent.

Claims (20)

1 . An axially compressible bare stent, wherein the bare stent is configured to be used in an aorta, the bare stent being formed by overlapping and interweaving at least two kinds of wires with different diameters, the at least two kinds of wires comprising first wires and second wires, and the bare stent having a metal coverage of at least 30% in a natural release state, wherein each of the first wires has a diameter of 20 μm to 150 μm, and each of the second wires has a diameter of 150 μm to 600 μm,

wherein the first wires comprise at least one first thin wire and at least one second thin wire with different diameters, and wherein the at least one first thin wire has a diameter of 20 μm to 100 μm, and the at least one second thin wire has a diameter of 100 μm to 150 μm,

wherein the bare stent is formed by weaving 48 to 156 wires, wherein 4 to 32 wires of the 48 to 156 wires form the second wires, and remaining wires of the 48 to 156 wires form the first wires, and wherein the first wires comprises 32 to 120 first thin wires and 32 to 120 second thin wires, provided that a sum of a number of the first thin wires and a number of the second thin wires is less than or equal to 152.

2 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 1 , wherein the bare stent has a radial support force of greater than or equal to 200 N in the natural release state.

3 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 2 , wherein the bare stent has the metal coverage of 30% to 60% and the radial support force of 200 N to 600 N in the natural release state.

4 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 2 , wherein the first wires are interwoven with the second wires in a uniformly distributed manner to form the bare stent.

5 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 1 , wherein the bare stent has different degrees of compression in an axial direction of the bare stent when the bare stent is configured to be placed in the aorta.

6 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 1 , wherein the bare stent has a metal coverage of greater than or equal to 80% in a release and axial maximum compression state.

7 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 1 , wherein the bare stent has a metal coverage of 80% to 90% in a release and axial maximum compression state.

8 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 1 , wherein the bare stent has a radial support force of greater than or equal to 400 N in a release and axial maximum compression state.

9 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 8 , wherein the bare stent has the radial support force of 400 N to 1000 N in the release and axial maximum compression state.

10 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 1 , wherein the bare stent is configured to be used in an area comprising an abdominal aorta, and the bare stent is internally provided with two common iliac artery stent fixing parts configured to fix left and right common iliac artery stents.

11 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 10 , wherein the two common iliac artery stent fixing parts are arranged inside the bare stent and correspond to the abdominal aorta close to a bifurcation of left and right common iliac arteries, and wherein the two common iliac artery stent fixing parts are a configured as two annuluses tangent to each other and are integrally formed with an inner wall of the bare stent.

12 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 1 , wherein the bare stent has a same diameter in an axial direction of the bare stent, or the bare stent has a variable diameter in an axial direction of the bare stent, wherein the bare stent has the diameter ranging from 20 mm to 60 mm.

13 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 12 , wherein the bare stent has the diameter ranging from 20 mm to 35 mm.

14 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 12 , wherein a part of the bare stent has a diameter ranging from 38 mm to 60 mm.

15 . The axially compressible bare stent of claim 1 , wherein the bare stent is provided with at least two layers of woven meshes.

16 . An axially compressible bare stent, wherein the bare stent is configured to be used in an aorta, the bare stent being formed by overlapping and interweaving at least two kinds of wires with different diameters, the at least two kinds of wires comprising first wires and second wires, and the bare stent having a metal coverage of at least 30% in a natural release state, wherein each of the first wires has a diameter of 20 μm to 150 μm, and each of the second wires has a diameter of 150 μm to 600 μm,

wherein the second wires comprise at least one first thick wire and at least one second thick wire with different diameters, and wherein the at least one first thick wire has a diameter of 150 μm to 300 μm, and the at least one second thick wire has a diameter of 300 μm to 600 μm, wherein the bare stent is formed by weaving 48 to 128 wires,

wherein 6 to 24 first thick wires and 6 to 24 second thick wires of the 48 to 128 wires form the second wires, and remaining wires of the 48 to 128 wires form the first wires, provided that a sum of a number of the first thick wires and a number of the second thick wires is less than or equal to 32.
