The invention provides expandable tubular endoluminal prostheses for the treatment of vulnerable plaque lesions and methods for treating vulnerable plaques using the prostheses. The endoprostheses may include at least two opposing ring-like end sections and a central section including a number of struts having parallel longitudinal axes connecting the ends sections. In use, the device is expanded in a blood vessel so that the central section at least partially contacts a vulnerable plaque lesion and/or the blood vessel wall in close proximity to the vulnerable plaque lesion.

L'invention concerne des prothèses endoluminales tubulaires extensibles destinées au traitement de lésions au niveau de la plaque vulnérable, ainsi que des méthodes de traitement des plaques vulnérables dans lesquelles sont utilisées ces prothèses. Ces endoprothèses peuvent comprendre au moins deux sections d'extrémité opposées en forme d'anneau et une section centrale comportant plusieurs entretoises possédant des axes longitudinaux parallèles, reliant les sections d'extrémité. En pratique, le dispositif est déployé dans un vaisseau sanguin afin que la section centrale entre au moins partiellement en contact avec une lésion au niveau d'une plaque vulnérable et/ou avec la paroi d'un vaisseau sanguin située à proximité de la lésion au niveau d'une plaque vulnérable.
