Abstract:
1. An intraluminal protective device configured to be secured in a lumen of a patient, comprising: a proximal tubular stent having opposed proximal and distal end portions and expandable from a collapsed state to an expanded state to exert a first radial force against an interior of the lumen; a distal anchor; and a tubular lining spanning an axial gap spatially separating the proximal tubular stent from the distal anchor, the tubular lining configured to exert a second radial force on the interior of the lumen along an axial portion of the lumen corresponding to the axial gap, the second radial force being in a range of between (a) zero and (b) less than the first radial force, the tubular lining impermeable to an alimentary tract content; wherein the distal anchor includes a distal ring attached to the tubular lining and configured for placement outside of the patient when the proximal tubular stent exerts the first radial force against the interior of the lumen.
