Blood vessels and other body lumens are expanded using an evertible braided prosthesis (30). The braided prosthesis (30) is delivered to the blood vessel in a radially collapsed configuration. A leading edge (40) of the braided prosthesis is then everted so that it expands as it is advanced through the blood vessel. Optionally, the prosthesis (30)can be provided with a biologically active substance in order to inhibit hyperplasia or have other desired biological effects.

On utilise, dans le cadre de cette invention, une proth­se tress~e, pouvant Útre retourn~e, pour dilater des vaisseaux sanguins et autres lumi­res corporelles. On introduit dans le vaisseau sanguin cette proth­se tress~e alors qu'elle est affaiss~e radialement. On retourne alors le bord ant~rieur de cette proth­se tress~e au fur et ~ mesure qu'elle se dilate et qu'elle progresse dans le vaisseau sanguin. Cette proth­se tress~e peut, ~ventuellement, renfermer une substance bio-active inhibant une hyperplasie ou ayant d'autres effets biologiques souhait~s.
