More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to an implantable stent (10) comprising a distensible tubular stent having a tubular structure having a tubular wall (16) defined by an interior surface and an exterior surface and having opposed first (12) and second (14) open ends, and a stent retrieval member (30) comprising an elongate member comprising a substantially circular perimetric base (32) and a shaped projection (34) including first and second spaced apart members (36,38) extending from the base and connected by an apical region (40), whereby a pulling force exerted on the shaped projection causes contraction of the circular base, wherein the base is securely attached to the first open end (12) and the shaped projection extends longitudinally beyond the first open end of the tubular structure.
