Improved endoprostheses comprising a delivery configuration and a deployed configuration and methods of manufacture are disclosed. Some embodiments according to the invention comprise woven tubular structures and means for maintaining said structures in their expanded configurations. In one embodiment of the invention, locking elements (12, 14) disposed on one or more fibers (15, 17) maintain said endoprosthesis in its deployed configuration. In alternative embodiments, one or more axial members may maintain said endoprosthesis in its deployed configuration. In yet additional alternative embodiments, a chemical bond or thermocouple may maintain said endoprosthesis in its deployed configuration. Some embodiments according to the invention may comprise erodible material.

La présente invention concerne des endoprothèses améliorées comprenant une configuration d'apport et une configuration déployée ainsi que des procédés de fabrication. Certains modes de réalisation de l'invention comprennent des structures tubulaires tissées et un organe de maintien de ces structures en configurations déployées. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, des éléments de verrouillage (12, 14) placés sur une ou plusieurs fibres (15, 17) maintiennent cette endoprothèse dans sa configuration déployée. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation de l'invention, un ou plusieurs éléments axiaux peuvent maintenir cette endoprothèse dans sa configuration déployée. Dans encore un autre mode de réalisation additionnel de l'invention, une liaison chimique ou un thermocouple peut maintenir cette endoprothèse dans sa configuration déployée. certains modes de réalisation de l'invention peuvent comprendre un matériau érodable.
