A graftless prosthetic stent for treatment of vascular lesions such as aneurysms and arterio-venous fistulas, especially in neurovascular vessels, comprises a continuous helical ribbon formed of a shape-retaining metal having a transition temperature at which the stent expands from its contracted condition to a radially expanded condition, the stent remaining substantially cylindrical in its contracted and expanded conditions. The helical windings have variable width, thickness, number or size of openings, or combinations of these features, which affect the stiffness, rate of expansion at the transition temperature, and the area of vessel wall covered by the stent. Methods of treatment using the device are provided.

Un stent de prothèse sans greffe destiné au traitement des lésions vasculaires telles que les anévrysmes et les fistules artérioveineuses, plus spécialement dans les vaisseaux neurovasculaires, comprend un ruban hélicoïdal continu formé d'un métal à mémoire de forme ayant une température de transition à laquelle le stent se dilate pour passer de son état contracté à un état dilaté dans le sens radial, le stent restant sensiblement cylindrique dans ses états contracté et dilaté. Les spires hélicoïdales sont de largeur et d'épaisseur variable, la même caractéristique s'appliquant également au nombre ou à la taille des ouvertures ainsi qu'à la combinaison de ces éléments, ceci affectant la rigidité, la vitesse de dilatation à la température de transition et la surface de la paroi du vaisseau recouverte par le stent. Des procédés de traitement dans lesquels on utilise ce dispositif sont décrits.
