Abstract

Devices and methods for protecting the neurovascular structures about the vertebral column (2) are provided. One embodiment of the invention comprises a neuroprotective stent or device (36) adapted for placement in an intervertebral foramen (26) of a vertebral column (2) and configured to resist compression or impingement from surrounding structures or forces. The stent or device may further comprise a flange (140) to facilitate attachment of the device (36) to the vertebrae (4) or a hinge region (144) to facilitate insertion of the device (36) in the foramen (26).
