Abstract
A vascular prosthesis (e.g., stent), and packaging and delivery system to selectively deliver a vascular prosthesis are described. In some embodiments, the vascular prosthesis utilizes a low porosity and high porosity section, and the packaging and delivery system allows the prosthesis to be delivered such that the position of the low porosity and high porosity sections of the prosthesis can vary.
Claims19
A vascular prosthesis system comprising:
- a vascular prosthesis having a lower porosity region and a higher porosity region;
- a housing containing the vascular prosthesis;
- and
- a first tubing linked to a first end of the housing, a second tubing linked to a second end of the housing, wherein the first tubing and the second tubing each contain an introducer sleeve, the vascular prosthesis being deliverable through the first tubing or the second tubing.

A vascular prosthesis system comprising:
- a vascular prosthesis having a first porosity region and a second porosity region;
- a housing containing the vascular prosthesis;
- a first tubing linked to a first end of the housing, a second tubing linked to a second end of the housing, wherein the first tubing and second tubing each contain an introducer sleeve, the vascular prosthesis being deliverable through the first tubing or the second tubing;
- wherein if the vascular prosthesis is delivered through the first tubing, then the first porosity region is on a first longitudinal section of the vascular prosthesis, and if the vascular prosthesis is delivered through the second tubing, then the first porosity is on a second longitudinal section of the vascular prosthesis.

A flow diverting prosthesis system comprising:
- a vascular prosthesis having a flow diversion region with a lower porosity and a non-flow diversion region with a higher porosity;
- a housing containing the vascular prosthesis;
- a first tubing linked to a first end of the housing, a second tubing linked to a second end of the housing, wherein the first tubing and second tubing each contain an introducer sleeve, the vascular prosthesis being deliverable through the first tubing or the second tubing;
- wherein if the vascular prosthesis is delivered through the first tubing, then the flow diversion region is on a first longitudinal section of the vascular, and if the vascular prosthesis is delivered through the second tubing, then the flow diversion region is on a second longitudinal section of the vascular prosthesis.
