Abstract:
A plaque tack can be used for holding plaque against blood vessel walls such as in treating atherosclerotic occlusive disease. The plaque tack can be formed as a thin, annular band for holding loose plaque under a spring or other expansion force against a blood vessel wall. Focal elevating elements and/or other features, such as anchors, can be used to exert a holding force on a plaque position while minimizing the amount of material surface area in contact with the plaque or blood vessel wall and reducing the potential of friction with the endoluminal surface. This approach offers clinicians the ability to perform a minimally invasive post-angioplasty treatment and produce a stent-like result without using a stent.

Claim (Index 55):
An endovascular implant comprising:\n a first undulating ring at least partially defining a first end of the implant; a second undulating ring at least partially defining a second end of the implant; a plurality of cells between the first undulating ring and the second undulating ring; and a radiopaque marker; wherein a length between the first end and the second end is no more than 15 mm, and wherein the implant has an expanded diameter between 1 mm and 10 mm.
