20120239137DEFFERENTIAL DILATION STENT AND METHOD OF USE -
Embodiments herein provide differential dilation stents for use
in percutaneous interventions, such as transluminal bypass
procedures. In some embodiments, the stents may be used in the
process of creating an arteriovenous (AV) fistula during a
percutaneous bypass procedure, and such stents may have two or
more specialized regions that are configured to adopt a
predetermined diameter, shape, and/or tensile strength upon
insertion in order to suit the needs of the vessel or procedure.
The disclosed stents may be used for creating and/or maintaining
an arterial/venous fistula for bypass of an occlusion in a
cardiac artery using a cardiac vein, or the femoral artery, for
example using the tibial or popliteal vein.09-20-2012
