摘要：
A gastrointestinal device for reducing flow through a pyloric sphincter of a patient is disclosed. The device may include a stent including a plurality of strands forming first and second ends, the plurality of strands configured to form a proximal portion having a proximal diameter and a distal portion having a distal diameter. The proximal and distal diameters may be larger than a diameter of the pyloric sphincter and the proximal diameter may be larger than the distal diameter. The device may include a connector assembly including proximal and distal connectors, the plurality of strands being attached to the proximal and distal connectors at the first and second ends. The connector assembly may further include a middle portion extending between the proximal and distal connectors. The middle connector may extend within the plurality of strands, and may be unattached to the plurality of strands.
