The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for placing a stent at a desired location within the human body. In particular, but not exclusively, the apparatus is configured to place a stent within the ureter or other passage or space within the human body. The invention may be embodied as an apparatus for inserting a stent into a bodily structure of a subject, the apparatus comprising: a stent guide wire, a first moving means configured to move the stent guide wire toward a bodily structure of a subject, a stent pusher disposed about the stent guide wire, and a second moving means configured to move the stent pusher independently of and relative to the stent guide wire.

This invention discloses a precisely positioned and displacement-resistant stent for use at the junction of cavities, comprising a support stent and a positioning frame. The support stent supports the diseased junctional lumen; the positioning frame includes multiple positioning strips made of shape-memory metal. These positioning strips are linear when confined by the delivery sheath and coiled when released. The outer edge of the coiled structure includes a first part, a second part, and a third part connected sequentially. The first part forms a bent structure with the support stent and abuts against the junctional lumen wall. The second part is an arc-shaped portion with its opening facing the longitudinal axis of the support stent, thus opening the junctional lumen wall. Through the cooperation of the positioning strips and the support stent, precise positioning of the support stent at the junction is achieved. Simultaneously, the positioning strips have a small overall curvature and short longitudinal length, avoiding interference with other junctional cavities, making it particularly suitable for left common iliac vein stents, effectively preventing problems caused by excessive stent insertion or displacement.

To provide a stent capable of smoothly inserting a guide wire into the stent indwelled in the body.SOLUTION: The stent delivery system 50 includes the stent 1, an inner catheter 51, an outer catheter 52, and an operation unit 53, and the guide wire W passes through the stent delivery system 50. The stent 1 includes a stent tube wall portion 2 having an annular shape, a hollow stent insertion portion 3 surrounded by the stent tube wall portion 2 and penetrating the stent 1, and a flap portion 4 formed to protrude from a side surface of the stent tube wall portion 2. A notch part 11 having at least one or more notches 10 is provided on the rear end side of the stent 1. When the stent 1 is removed, the guide wire W can be easily inserted into the stent insertion portion 3 by inserting the distal end of the guide wire W into the notch 10.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

An apparatus for inserting a stent into a bodily structure of a subject has a proximal and distal end. The apparatus comprises a first movable structure and a second movable structure. The apparatus further comprises a stent guide wire having a distal terminus, at least a portion of the stent guide wire wound about the first movable structure. A stent pusher having a distal terminus is provided. At least a portion of the stent pusher is wound about the second movable structure. The apparatus is operable to advance the distal termini of the stent guide wire and the stent pusher distally for deploying a stent.

A device and method for intravascular treatment of atherosclerotic plaque prior to balloon angioplasty which microperforates the plaque with small sharp spikes acting as serrations for forming cleavage lines or planes in the plaque. The spikes may also be used to transport medication into the plaque. The plaque preparation treatment enables subsequent angioplasty to be performed at low balloon pressures of about 4 atmospheres or less, reduces dissections, and avoids injury to the arterial wall. The subsequent angioplasty may be performed with a drug-eluting balloon (DEB) or drug-coated balloon (DCB). The pre-angioplasty perforation procedure enables more drug to be absorbed during DEB or DCB angioplasty, and makes the need for a stent less likely. Alternatively, any local incidence of plaque dissection after balloon angioplasty may be treated by applying a thin, ring-shaped tack at the dissection site only, rather than applying a stent over the overall plaque site.

A guided robotic system is disclosed. The guided robotic system includes a magnetic resonance imaging device for real-time imaging of a subject, a computer system for real-time analysis of the images, and a robotic system for guiding a robotic arm based on the real-time analysis of the images. A method of using a guided robotic system is also disclosed. The method includes acquiring live magnetic resonance images of a subject, analyzing the live magnetic resonance images to continuously identify a target portion of the subject, automatically guiding a robotic arm toward the identified target portion of the subject based on the live magnetic resonance images, and performing a procedure at the target portion of the subject. Non-limiting procedures using the guided robotic system can include, for example, a biopsy, a stent insertion.
