Abstract
An implantable medical device includes an elongate support member including an internal wall forming an internal lumen and an elongate flexible tubular valve member having a length, a proximal end, and a closable distal end. The proximal end of the valve member is secured to the support member and is configured to be held open thereby in a deployed condition of the device. The valve member is at least partially unstented along its length. In a deployed condition of the device, flow in a proximal direction causes the distal end of the valve member to be closed.
Claims18
An implantable medical device for preventing backflow into a false lumen of dissection, including:
- an elongate support member including an internal wall forming an internal lumen;
- and
- an elongate flexible tubular valve member having a length, a proximal end, and a closable distal end, the proximal end of the valve member being secured to the support member and configured to be held open thereby in a deployed condition of the device, the valve member being at least partially unstented along its length;
- wherein in a deployed condition of the device flow in a proximal direction causes the distal end of the valve member to be closed.
