An implantable treatment device configured to facilitate removal thereof after tissue ingrowth into a portion thereof, such as into an enlarged region with a diameter greater than adjacent regions. A liner is positioned within a lumen of the treatment device, with a portion spaced from the enlarged region of the treatment device. A disruption zone in the liner facilitates controlled disruption of the liner's integrity to permit a portion of a removal device inserted within the liner to extend through the liner to interact with the treatment device. The treatment device may be part of a treatment system including a removal device with an enlarged region corresponding to the treatment device enlarged region. A method of treatment involves rupturing a rupture zone in a treatment device liner to allow a portion of a removal device to extend through the liner and into engagement with a portion of the treatment device.
A treatment device having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal extent therebetween, said treatment device comprising:
A treatment system for a stent-in-stent removal procedure at a treatment site, said system comprising:
A method of stent-in-stent removal at a treatment site, said method comprising:
