摘要:A device for insertion into a body as a stent or graft to a predetermined
position in a body location comprising a braided stent made of heat-settable polymer.The stent is compressed axially to a shorter length and/or molded to a desired shape,and heat-set in a predetermined configuration The device may also include non heat-settable filaments to enhance its performance as for example metal fibers to impartradio opacity. The stent is adapted to be axially extended for insertion into a deliverysystems used to introduce the device to a specific body location, whereby it returns tosubstantially its heat-set predetermined configuration. The device may also include adebris protection component including a distal end and a proximal end, the componentbeing attached to the distal end of the stent device preferably used with an insertionguide wire with the distal end fixedly mounted to the guide wire for closure of the distalend upon removal of the debris protection component to entrap body debris at thebody location. The debris protection component may be fixedly or removeably attachedto the stent device. In one embodiment, the stent includes a natural or synthetic coatingon at least one surface of the stent.
