摘要:
Delivery systems for expandable elements, such as stents or scaffolds havingspikes, flails, or other protruding featuresfor delivering drugs and/or penetrating target tissue within a human patientand associated methods for using such systems. The deliverysystems can be configured to deliver and position expandable structures withina body lumen (e.g., vessel). In addition, these deliverysystems can also be configured to deploy and expand the expandable structuresin the body lumen. The delivery systems can further beconfigured to engage with the expanded structure and collapse the structurefor removal from the body lumen. The delivery systemscan be configured to deliver another expandable structure or the sameexpandable structure to another body lumen, or the same bodylumen, in a single procedure or during a plurality of procedures.
