A stent system 1 has a stent 2 having a hole and at least an anchor 3 having an arm 33 . The stent 2 has a cylindrical shape, in which a sheet is rolled, and a plurality of holes 13 are provided thereon. A grasping portion 33 A at the distal end of the arm 33 of the anchor 3 can be inserted into the holes 13 . A grasping force X of the grip 3 is greater than a drag R that the holes of the stent 2 yield. The grip 3 deforms the stent 2 , easily grasps the stent 2 and a biological tissue, whereby it is possible to fix the stent 2 . In accordance with the present invention, it is possible to reliably fix the stent in a hollow organ.
1. A stent system comprising:
a stent having a cylindrical shape and configured to be inserted in a hollow organ; and
an anchor being separate from the stent, the anchor comprising a first arm and a second arm,
wherein:
the stent is provided with holes,
the first arm and the second arm are configured to be inserted in each hole respectively,
in a state where the first arm and the second arm are inserted in the respective hole, the stent is capable of being deformed such that a part of an edge part of the holes which is positioned between the first arm and the second arm, approaches each other by closing the first arm and the second arm, and
the anchor is configured to be capable of grasping both a portion of the hollow organ and the stent while deforming a part of the stent to fix the stent to the hollow organ.
2. The stent system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the anchor further comprises grasping portions located at distal ends of the first arm and the second arm, respectively,
wherein the grasping portions are configured to be inserted into the holes of the stent, and
wherein each of the holes in which the grasping portions are inserted has an area which is two-thirds or more of an area of a circle having a diameter, the diameter being the same as a maximum width of the corresponding grasping portion.
3. The stent system according to claim 1 , wherein distal ends of the first and second arms are bent toward each other.
4. The stent system according to claim 3 , wherein the distal ends of the first and second arms are configured to grasp the portion of the hollow organ so as to cause the portion of the hollow organ to be interposed between the distal ends.
