A removable device such as a stent-graft, intended for applications where it may be desirable to remove the device at some time following implantation. The stent-graft of the present invention includes a helically-wound stent component provided with a covering of graft material. It is removable by gripping an end of the helically-wound stent component with a retrieval device and applying tension to the stent component in the direction in which it is intended to be withdrawn from the site of implantation. The use of such a retrieval device allows the stent-graft to be removed remotely, such as via a catheter inserted into the body at a different location from the implantation site. The design of the stent-graft is such that the stent component is extended axially while the adjacent portion of the graft separates between windings of the stent component.

L'invention concerne un dispositif amovible, tel qu'une endoprothèse couverte ("stent-graft"), prévu pour des applications pouvant nécessiter le retrait du dispositif à un moment quelconque après son implantation. L'endoprothèse couverte de la présente invention comprend un composant endoprothétique enroulé de façon hélicoïdale et enduit d'un matériau de greffe. Pour retirer cette endoprothèse, il suffit de saisir une extrémité du composant endoprothétique, enroulé de façon hélicoïdale, au moyen d'un dispositif de récupération et d'appliquer une tension au composant endoprothétique dans le sens de retrait dudit composant depuis son site d'implantation. L'utilisation de ce dispositif de récupération permet le retrait à distance de ladite endoprothèse couverte, p. ex. par l'intermédiaire d'un cathéter inséré dans le corps à un emplacement différent du site d'implantation. Cette endoprothèse couverte est conçue, de sorte que le composant endoprothétique est étendu axialement, tandis que la partie adjacente de la greffe se sépare entre des enroulements du composant endoprothétique.
