US Patent 9775730 Flow-diverting covered stent

The described invention provides an endovascular stent device comprising a tubular structure comprising a circumference; wherein a flow-diverting portion of the circumference is covered by a flow-diverting material; a length (l) from a proximal end to a distal end; and an inner diameter (d); wherein the flow-diverting portion of the circumference comprises a length (l′); and the flow-diverting portion of the circumference covers at least 1% to at least 100% of the endovascular stent device. According to some embodiments, the flow-diverting material is adapted to increase blood vessel wall adherence and minimize risk of an endoleak.
