Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An illustrative stent may comprise an elongated tubular member having a first end and a second end and an intermediate region disposed therebetween. The elongated tubular member may include at least one flexible tie affixed to an end thereof. The tie may allow the stent to be attached to a lumen wall with a clip, such as a retention clip, to inhibit migration of the stent within the body lumen.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for delivering a stent to a lumen, the method comprising: advancing a stent to a target location in a collapsed configuration, the stent comprising: an elongated tubular member having a first end, a second end and an intermediate region disposed therebetween, the elongated tubular member comprising at least one filament; and a flexible tie having a distal end attached to the filament adjacent to the first end of the elongated tubular member and extending proximally therefrom; expanding the stent into an enlarged configuration; and positioning a retainer in a mouth of a patient, a proximal end of the flexible tie attached to a portion of the retainer. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the retainer comprises at least one aperture for receiving the flexible tie. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the distal end of the flexible tie includes a clip, the clip configured to secure the flexible tie to the elongated tubular member. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the clip comprises a pair of jaws configured to clasp the elongated tubular member.
