A self-expanding stent includes a plurality of segments having a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. Preferably, the segments are unconnected to each other in at least the expanded configuration. The segments include restraining structures that temporarily restrain them from expansion until activated. This allows the user to position the desired number of segments at a treatment site and to deploy them simultaneously, thereby avoiding misalignment, overlap, and excessive spacing between segments. In preferred embodiments, multiple segmented stents of user-selectable length may be deployed at multiple locations in a single intervention.

Un stent auto-déployable comprend une pluralité de segments pouvant adopter une configuration repliée et une configuration déployée. De préférence, les segments ne sont pas reliés les uns aux autres au moins dans la configuration déployée. Les segments comportent des structures de maintien qui les retiennent temporairement de se déployer jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient activés. Ceci permet à l'utilisateur de positionner le nombre désiré de segments au niveau d'un site de traitement et de les déployer simultanément, ce qui évite ainsi le défaut d'alignement, le chevauchement et l'écart trop important entre les segments. Dans les formes de réalisation préférées, des stents à plusieurs segments d'une longueur sélectionnable par l'utilisateur peuvent être déployés à de nombreux endroits au cours d'une seule et unique intervention.
