A sterile non-bioabsorbable tubular device intended to be implanted in a renal artery to maintain arterial patency and improve luminal diameter in patients with symptomatic atherosclerotic disease. It is made of metal [e.g., stainless steel, cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr), nickel-titanium alloy (Nitinol)] typically in a tubular mesh structure, sometimes bifurcation (Y-shaped) design, and is typically delivered to the site of implantation with a balloon catheter which will expand the device upon balloon inflation. It is available in a variety of lengths and diameters. Disposable devices associated with implantation may be included.
