INTRAVASCULAR DEVICE ATTACHMENT SYSTEM HAVING STRUTS
First Claim
1. An intravascular device attachment system for securing an intravascular device to a vessel wall, the system comprising:
- an intravascular device having a first end and a second end, the intravascular device defining a longitudinal axis along a length thereof; and
a plurality of struts, each strut of the plurality of struts having an attached end connected to one of the first and second ends, each strut of the plurality of struts being configured to move along a strut path relative to the longitudinal axis between an expanded state for engaging the vessel wall and a collapsed state for delivery or retrieval, each strut of the plurality of struts having a free end configured to engage the vessel wall in the expanded state.

Abstract
An attachment system for attaching an intravascular device to a vessel wall of a body vessel is disclosed. The attachment system has an intravascular device having a first end and a second end. The intravascular device defines a longitudinal axis along a length thereof. Several struts are connected to one or more ends of the intravascular device. Each strut is configured to move along a strut path relative to the longitudinal axis between an expanded state for engaging the vessel wall and a collapsed state for delivery or retrieval. Each strut has a free end configured to engage the vessel wall in the expanded state.
