Abstract:
Devices and methods for the controlled over-expansion of a body conduit and controlled constriction or expansion of a vessel in a patient are disclosed. The devices and methods can employ a bio-corrodible expandable support structure and an implant coaxially adjacent the support structure. The support structure can have a delivery diameter and an expanded supporting diameter. The implant can have a collapsed deformed diameter, an undeformed neutral diameter and an over-expanded deformed diameter. Contraction of the implant can occur when the support structure is bioabsorbed.
