Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0197727A1] A stented trabecular shunt (65) for transporting aqueous humor to bypassing diseased trabecular meshwork from an anterior chamber of an eye to an existing outflow pathway comprising an inlet section (62) and an outlet section (64), wherein the outlet section comprises a stenting element (68) that is expandable and adapted for stabilizing the outlet section within an existing outflow pathway. The stenting element may be made of a shape-memory Nitinol, the shape-memory Nitinol having a preshape and a shape transition temperature, wherein the shape-memory Nitinol expands to its preshape when the shape-memory Nitinol is heated by RF energy or an external heat source to above the shape transition temperature.
