Endoprosthesis intraluminal destiny in particular at the angioplasty

摘要

A vascular endoprosthesis, generally shaped as a radially extensible cylinder, and used for maintaining a body canal, particularly an artery, in an expanded state, is characterised in that the length of the generators of the expanded endoprosthesis, as measured in relation to a predetermined transversal plane, is not constant, so that it can be implanted at a fork in a body canal.
