摘要:
IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES Abstract A medical device includes a balloon catheter (24) having an expandable member, e.g., an inflatable balloon (26), at its distal end and a stent (10) or other endoprosthesis. The stent (10) is, for example, an apertured tubular member (12) formed of a polymer and is assembled about the balloon. The stent has an initial diameter for delivery into the body and can be expanded to a larger diameter by inflating the balloon (26).
