摘要:
An endovascular medical device that, when inserted into a vessel having one or more dilations and one or more narrowings in close proximity, redefines the vessel opening (lumen) along the longitudinal axis of the device, separates that lumen from the excess dilated volume within the dilation, and props open the lumen within the narrowing. The device is constructed in a manner to alter the hemodynamics at the interface between the redefined lumen and excess dilated volume, to facilitate the healing process within the dilated vessel. The device is constructed in a manner to provide sufficient radial force to open a narrowed portion of the vessel, to facilitate flow through the vessel. The device is constructed substantially from bioresorbable materials so as to eventually allow for the return of normal vasomechanics and cyclic wall stresses.
