Abstract:
A stent and method for treating an end of a pre-woven stent is provided. The method includes providing a pre-woven stent including a plurality of sharp ends. A pair of wire portions that extend in opposite helical directions around the stent are bent and woven into the stent to define a pair of overlapping crown portions. When the wires are woven into the stent a double weave portion of the stent is defined. The wires can be cut to define tail portions that are removed from the stent, leaving a single crown portion. The sharp ends can be alternatively treated by curving the ends to define rounded looped ends.

Claim (Index 16):
A medical device in the form of a woven stent comprising:\n a body defined by a plurality of wires extending in a first helical direction around the body and extending in a second helical direction around the body, the second helical direction being transverse to the first helical direction; wherein the plurality of wires are woven together to define a plurality of cells and a plurality of intersections; a first crown portion of the stent disposed at a first end of the stent and defined by a first wire end portion of the plurality of wires, the first crown portion including a bend portion defining an apex of the first crown portion, wherein the wire end portion extends in the first helical direction toward the apex of the crown and bends at the apex of the first crown portion, and further extends and is woven into the stent from the apex of the first crown portion in the second helical direction; a second crown portion of the stent disposed at the first end of the stent and defined by a second wire end portion of the plurality of wires, the second crown portion including a bend portion defining an apex of the second crown portion, wherein the second wire end portion extends in the second helical direction toward the apex of the second crown portion and bends at the apex of the second crown portion and further extends and is woven into the stent from the apex of the second crown portion in the first helical direction.
