Built-in prosthesis and delivery system for implanting such a self-contained prosthesis

摘要

The present invention relates to a self-contained prosthesis (1), in particular a vascular or cardiac self-contained prosthesis (1), which comprises a body (2) and one or more thrombus-forming elements. (3) and the one or more thrombus-forming elements (3) are secured to the self-contained prosthesis (1) and can extend outside the body at a distance from the body. The self-contained prosthesis includes means (33) for selectively holding the thrombus-forming element near the body (2). After the self-contained prosthesis is attached in place through a sheath in the conventional manner, the release of one or more thrombus-forming elements promotes thrombus formation.
