Title: Intravascular deliverable stent for reinforcement of vascular abnormalities
Inventor: GU XIAOPING
IPC: A61F2/90
Filed: 2007-10-24
Abstract: A catheter deliverable stent/graft especially designed to be used in a minimally invasive surgical procedure for treating a variety of vascular conditions su ch as aneurysms, stenotic lesions and saphenous vein grafts, comprises an innermos t tubular structure and at least one further tubular member in coaxial arrangement. In one embodiment, the innermost tubular structure is of a length (L1) and is forme d by braiding a relatively few strands of highly elastic metallic alloy. The pick and pitch of the braid are such as to provide relative large fenestrations in the tubular wall that permit blood flow through the wall and provide the primary radial support structure. A portion of the innermost tubular structure of a length L1 is surrounded by a further braided tubular structure having relatively many strands that substantially inhibit blood flow through the fenestrations of the innermost tubular structure. The composite structure can be stretched to reduce the outer diameter of the stent/graft, allowing it to be drawn into a lumen of a delivery catheter. The catheter ca n then be advanced through the vascular system to the site of treatment and then released, allowing it to self-expand against the vessel wall. Various optional embodiments are disclosed that allow one skilled in the art to tailor the design to the specific application.

Inventor: GREGORY MARVIN ALLEN
IPC: E21B7/16
Filed: 2001-09-13
Abstract: A method and system for drilling or cutting a subterranean well or formation (52) using a drilling rig (5), a drill string (55), a plurality of solid material impactors (100), a drilling fluid and a drill bit (60) is disclosed. This invention may have particular utility in drilling wells for the petroleum industry and for cutting formation in the mining and tunnel boring industries. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of solid material impactors are introduced into the drilling fluid and pumped through the drill string and drill bit to impact the formation ahead of the bit. At the point of impact, a substantial portion by weight of the impactors may have sufficient energy to structurally alter, excavate, and/or fracture the impacted formation. The majority by weight of the plurality of solid material impactors may have a mean diameter of at least 0.100 inches, and may structurally alter the formation to a depth of at least twice the mean diameter of the particles comprising the impacted formation. Impactor mass and/or velocity may be selected to satisfy a mass-velocity relationship in the respective impactor sufficient to structurally alter the formation. Rotational, gravitational, kinetic and/or hydraulic energy available at the bit in each of the bit, the impactors and the fluid may thereby more efficiently effect the generation and removal of formation cuttings ahead of the bit.
