Implantable medical devices, such as intraluminally implantable stents and
valves, are provided having certain preferred shapes. Preferably, a
portion of the implantable medical device can define a sinus region
having a preferred geometry. The sinus region can have one or more
preferred geometric configurations described herein, for example to
mitigate or prevent thrombosis within a body vessel. The medical device
can include a valve means, such as one or more valve leaflets positioned
within the sinus region. The implantable medical devices can be delivered
from a catheter within a body vessel, and are preferably expandable from
a compressed configuration to a radially expanded configuration. The
implantable frames can be self-expanding or balloon expandable. Portions
of the medical device, such as the implantable frame or a valve leaflet,
are optionally coated with one or more bioactive materials.
