Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a stent for use in vascular interventions, the stent comprising a first portion for placing in a first lumen and a second portion for placing in a region of a branch point at which the first lumen branches off a second lumen, the second portion comprising one or more rings linked by second links to the first portion and, if the second portion comprises two or more rings, together. The first and second portions are configured to be different to facilitate controlled longitudinal deformation of the second portion.

Claim (Index 26):
A stent for use in vascular interventions, the stent comprising a first portion for placing in a first lumen and a second portion for placing in a region of a branch point at which the first lumen branches off a second lumen,\n the first portion comprising a plurality of rings linked together by first links, each ring being defined by a repetition of S-shaped segments, which can also be described as a meander pattern extending between opposed bends spaced apart along the stent and the second portion comprising a plurality of rings linked together and to the first portion by second links, each ring being defined by a meander pattern extending between opposed bends spaced apart along the stent, wherein bends on one side of each ring in the second portion are aligned with bends on a far side of an adjacent ring in the second portion; wherein respective meander lengths along the meander pattern of rings in the second portion are greater than respective meander lengths along the meander pattern of rings in the first portion; wherein each second link comprises three straight portions joined by a bend between each pair of straight portions; and wherein the second links have a second width and the second width is less than the first width.
