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 53):
The system of  claim 52 , wherein each self-expanding endovascular implant of the plurality of self-expanding endovascular implants is spaced apart from an adjacent each self-expanding endovascular implant of the plurality of self-expanding endovascular implants by at least about 4 mm in the endovascular implant delivery system.
