| Zusammenfassung: | This invention relates to tissue supporting devices in general and most particularly to vascular stents for placement in blood vessels. A primary feature of the devices of this invention is that they are expandable within the body.
A new multiple component stent arrangement which allows for initial self-expansion and subsequent deformation to a final enlarged size. These tissue supporting devices are generally cylindrical or tubular. They have at least one component which is deformable, by an external force, to maintain further expansion. |
