A helical stent having bioresorbable connecting members connecting sections of the stent. The connecting members provide various spring rates or spring constants to the stent, and permit a change in the flexibility of the stent subsequent to implantation while maintaining the unitary design of the stent. A method of making the helical stent includes forming a tube with a section made of a bioresorbable material prior to forming the stent.

L'invention concerne une endoprothèse vasculaire hélicoïdale ayant des éléments de connexion biorésorbables connectant des sections de l'endoprothèse vasculaire. Les éléments de connexion produisent diverses raideurs ou constantes de ressort pour l'endoprothèse vasculaire, et permettent un changement dans la flexibilité de l'endoprothèse vasculaire suite à l'implantation tout en maintenant la conception unitaire de l'endoprothèse vasculaire. Un procédé de fabrication de l'endoprothèse vasculaire hélicoïdale comprend la formation d'un tube avec une section faite d'un matériau biorésorbable avant la formation de l'endoprothèse vasculaire.
