Percutaneous device with multiple expandable struts
First Claim
1. A percutaneous device comprising:
- a body comprising a plurality of deformable struts, each strut having a length and a width, the length of the strut extending along an axial length of the body and the width of the strut extending about a perimeter of the body, each strut being outwardly expandable to an expanded orientation in which the length of the strut deforms into a proximal outwardly extending portion and a distal outwardly extending portion with a middle portion extending between the proximal and distal outwardly extending portions, the proximal and distal outwardly extending portions being non-parallel to an axial axis of the body and the middle portion having a surface parallel to the axial axis of the body, wherein the deformable struts are spaced from one another along the axial length and about the perimeter of the body.

Abstract
A percutaneous device including a body including a plurality of deformable struts, each strut having a length and a width, the length of the strut extending along an axial length of the body and the width of the strut extending about a perimeter of the body, each strut being outwardly expandable to an expanded orientation in which the length of the strut deforms into a proximal outwardly extending portion and a distal outwardly extending portion with a middle portion extending between the proximal and distal outwardly extending portions, the proximal and distal outwardly extending portions being non-parallel to an axial axis of the body and the middle portion having a surface parallel to the axial axis of the body, wherein the deformable struts are spaced from one another along the axial length and about the perimeter of the body.

14. A method for deploying a percutaneous device comprising:
-
introducing a percutaneous device comprising expandable struts into a body lumen until a distal end of the percutaneous device meets an occlusion;
expanding the struts outwards at the distal end to open the occlusion and the body lumen; and
advancing the percutaneous device further into the body lumen and expanding another set of struts outwards to open another occlusion. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
