This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250009495 titled 'BILIARY STENT AND DELIVERY DEVICE
Original Abstract Submitted
devices, systems, and methods for deploying a biliary stent. a biliary stent has lobes and creases to expand between contracted and expanded positions. the stent is delivered to a bile duct in a contracted position loaded on a shaft of a delivery device. when the shaft is retracted through the stent, wings on the shaft force the stent outward into the larger expanded position. in the expanded position, the creases form drainage channels to reduce blockage over the life of the stent.
