Original Abstract Submitted
A medical implant for managing blood flow through a blood vessel comprises a stent body forming a proximal portion and a tapered distal end, the tapered distal end being angled relative to the proximal portion to face a direction of blood flow and limit blood flow into an inner lumen of the stent body, and the tapered distal end having a flexible structure to allow the tapered distal end to bend and straighten in response to blood flow, and a covering extending along the stent body.
