Abstract

Disclosed is a partly projected double-walled stent. Provided is a technique for allowing a stent to be easily secured in a conduit in a human body by a protrusion coupled to a body. According to the stent, first and second ridges of the protrusion are crossed and projected to be inclined in opposite directions, and thus the partly projected double-walled stent is rigidly secured in the conduit in the human body without being displaced in the left and right directions by an external force. Also, the number of protrusions can be adjusted according to circumstances so as to simplify a manufacturing process and reduce manufacturing costs. Further, a cover coupled to the body prevents a lesion portion from penetrating into the partly projected double-walled stent, thus preventing re-stenosis caused by the lesion portion.

Claims

1. A partly projected double-walled stent, comprising:

a body having multiple wires woven to be crossed, an outer circumferential surface formed in a mesh pattern, and an interior formed in a hollow cylindrical shape; and

at least one protrusion coupled to the outer circumferential surface of the body, and projected along the outer circumferential surface of the body.

2. The partly projected double-walled stent according to claim 1, wherein the protrusion includes a first ridge coupled with some of the wires constituting the body and projected from the outer circumferential surface of the body so as to be inclined in one direction, and a second ridge coupled with others of the wires constituting the body and projected from the outer circumferential surface of the body so as to be inclined in the other direction;

and

the first and second ridges are formed to intersect each other in an overlapping manner.

3. The partly projected double-walled stent according to claim 1, further comprising a cover to enclose an inner circumferential surface of the body.
