Adaptive Iliac-Caval Junction Stenting System

A next-generation stent system integrating self-expanding Z stent cylinders with dynamically adjustable braided stents, enabling real-time optimization of venous stenting in iliac-caval junctions.

The original Integrated Z and Wallstent patent addressed limitations in iliac vein stenting, but the new inventive concept tackles the shortcomings of fixed-diameter stents and rigid mesh densities. This next-generation system adapts to individual patient needs, minimizing vessel trauma and complications.

The Adaptive Iliac-Caval Junction Stenting System comprises a self-expanding Z stent cylinder with adaptive diameter adjustment, integrated with a braided stent having a dynamically adjustable mesh density. This allows for real-time optimization of stent expansion and minimization of vessel trauma. The system can be deployed using a method that integrates sensor feedback to monitor vessel pressure and flow, enabling precise adjustments during deployment. Additionally, the system can be customized using machine learning algorithms to optimize stent design and deployment based on patient-specific anatomical data.

The new inventive concept introduces adaptive diameter adjustment and dynamically adjustable mesh density, which are not present in the original patent. These features enable real-time optimization of stent deployment, making the system more effective and safer for patients.

Alternative embodiments could include variations in the Z stent cylinder's material or geometry, different mesh density adjustment mechanisms, or integration with other sensors or imaging modalities. These variations would ensure broad conceptual coverage and adaptability to different clinical scenarios.

The Adaptive Iliac-Caval Junction Stenting System has significant commercial potential in the medical device industry, particularly in the treatment of chronic venous disease. The system's adaptability and real-time optimization capabilities make it an attractive solution for hospitals and clinicians seeking to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications.
