ABSTRACT:
Medical devices for implantation in a body vessel, and methods of using and making the same, are provided. Embodiments of the invention relate to medical devices comprising a frame having cross-section that can substantially conform to body vessel shapes that have elliptical or circular cross-sections, and dynamically respond to changes in the cross-section of a body vessel. Frames with directionally-dependent radial compressibility or expandability characteristics are also provided. Medical devices comprising a frame and one or more valve members adapted to regulate fluid flow in a body vessel, such as a vein, are also provided.
