Multi-filar coil medical stent

Multi-filar, open and closed coil, tubular medical stents that are introduced to a site in a body lumen and released to expand at the site to provide a passageway through the stent lumen are disclosed. Each stent filar is a coil wound in substantially the same pitch through the majority of its length between the ends thereof. The coils are attached together at least at one coil end to form an end of the stent and wound in an interleaved manner such that the adjacent coils are substantially evenly spaced apart or in close contact in the released state and do not cross over one another. In one open coil stent embodiment, both ends of each coil are attached in respective first and second common attachment junctions, and the resulting coils have relatively even predetermined spacing between adjacent coil turns through the majority of the length of the stent between the first and last coil turns when the stent is released. Preferably, the first and second stent ends are formed by attaching the coil ends in common, and the stent ends are squared by decreasing the pitch of the first coil turn extending from the stent end such that the spacing of the stent end from the adjacent coil is reduced from the predetermined spacing. Additionally, multi-filar closed coil stent embodiments are disclosed having only one end of each coil attached in common and adjacent coil turns in substantial mutual and overlying contact in the restrained state during implantation and non-overlying contact in the released state. Preferably each common attachment junction of attached coil ends and each free coil end is formed into an enlarged stent end in at least one dimension for ease of attachment to and release from a stent delivery catheter. The common attachment junction can be snared or grasped by a stent retrieval system and retracted from the body lumen.

Precession-type backfill grouting ground source thermal energy conversion precast pile device and method for embedding precast pile device into stratum

The invention discloses a precession-type backfill grouting ground source thermal energy conversion precast pile device, which comprises a plurality of precession-type backfill grouting prefabricated screw piles respectively embedded into pile holes, wherein a vertical heat exchanger is embedded in each screw pile; the inlet end and the outlet end of each vertical heat exchanger respectively extend out of an opening at the upper end of the screw pile to be respectively connected with a horizontal liquid-feeding collecting pipe and a horizontal liquid outlet collecting pipe in a bearing platform or a cushion layer; centring brackets are arranged at an interval of 1-3 m along the length direction of each vertical heat exchanger; each precession-type backfill grouting prefabricated screw pile comprises a hollow pile core, wherein the bottom of the pile core is provided with a cone-shaped pile head; a screw blade is arranged on the position far away1-3m from the lower part of the outer wall of the pile core; and a post grouting reinforcing layer is poured between the middle upper part of the outer wall of the pile core and a pile hole wall. The precession-type backfill grouting ground source thermal energy conversion precast pile device comprises a plurality of precession-type backfill grouting prefabricated screw piles, and the vertical heat exchanger is embedded in each screw pile; the pile foundation construction and the ground source heat pump construction are integrated so as to avoid a drilling and pipe-laying program of a ground source heat pump system on the ground, greatly lower the front-end investment cost and save the land use area; and the post grouting reinforcing layer is poured between the middle upper part of the outer wall of the pile core and the pile hole wall so as to enlarge a heat conduction area, improve the heat conduction performance and simultaneously improve the pile body bearing capacity.

Method and apparatus for anchoring cardiovascular implants

Methods, devices and systems facilitate retention of a variety of therapeutic devices. Devices generally include an anchoring element, which has been designed to promote fibrotic ingrowth, and an anchored device, which has been designed to firmly engage the complementary region of the anchoring element. The anchoring element may be placed in a minimally invasive procedure temporally separated from the deployment of the anchored device. Once enough time has passed to ensure appropriate fixation of the anchoring element by tissue and cellular ingrowth at the site of placement, the anchored device may then be deployed during which it firmly engages the complementary region of the anchoring element. In this manner, a firm attachment to the implantation site may be made with a minimum of required hardware. Some embodiments are delivered through a delivery tube or catheter and while some embodiments may require laparoscopy or open surgery for one or more of the placement procedures. Some embodiments anchor devices within the cardiovascular tree while others may anchor devices within the gastrointestinal, peritoneal, pleural, pulmonary, urogynecologic, nasopharyngeal or dermatologic regions of the body. An alternative embodiment provides for the placement of the anchoring element and anchored device simultaneously, but allows for their removal separately. This embodiment allows the device, which may be placed only temporarily and be designed to be removed, to experience significant fibrotic ingrowth, but then to be easily detached from the ingrowth-anchored region to allow for simple and quick device removal.
