Abstract:
A braided stent system includes an expansion ring attached to internal and external surfaces of a lumen. A frame of the ring may impart an outwardly expanding radial force to the lumen, the frame including a plurality of elongate members joined at a coupling and at first and second intersections opposite the coupling. A clip can extend from the intersections and can be operable to slidably secure the frame to the inner and outer surfaces of the lumen.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of deploying a braided stent body into a vessel, the method comprising:\n assembling a plurality of expansion rings with a lumen of the braided stent body, the lumen of the braided stent body being formed by a plurality of braided members with interstices formed therebetween; selectively attaching each expansion ring with inner and outer surfaces of the lumen of the braided stent body, each expansion ring imparting an outwardly expanding radial force to the braided stent body thereby maintaining the lumen of the braided stent body in an opened position, each expansion ring comprising: a plurality of elongate members joined at a coupling and at first and second intersections opposite the coupling; and at least one clip extended from the intersections and operable to secure the frame to the inner and outer surfaces of the lumen; slidably attaching a plurality of outer strut members of the clip to the inner surface of the lumen, each outer strut member being aligned and extended from the first intersection and joined at an end opposite the first intersection; and slidably attaching a plurality of center strut members of the clip to the outer surface of the lumen, each center strut member being disposed in a gap formed between the outer strut members, the center strut members being aligned and extended from the second intersection.
