Abstract
A device and method for treating a body conduit/lumen having an undesired reduced diameter include delivering an expandable stent in a contracted configuration to a target location. The stent has small cells that form an open tight mesh providing the effective capture of small particles such as thrombi. Preferably, the tight mesh is combined with structure that permits creation of large side openings to accommodate lumen branches.
