Patent

CA 2446861

An intraluminal prosthesis composed of a self-expandable stent and a biodegradable constraining element being capable of biodegrading in vivo over a predetermined period of time to permit radial expansion of the stent. The constraining elements are applied to the stent to produce a compressed configuration. Dissolution of the constraining elements in vivo allows for expansion of the stent to an expanded configuration.

L'invention concerne une prothèse intraluminale comprenant une prothèse endovasculaire à auto-déploiement ainsi qu'un élément de contrainte biodégradable capable de se biodégrader in vivo sur une durée prédéterminée, afin de permettre le déploiement radial de la prothèse endovasculaire. Les éléments de contrainte sont appliqués à ladite prothèse endovasculaire afin d'obtenir une configuration comprimée. La dissolution des éléments de contrainte in vivo permet le déploiement de la prothèse endovasculaire dans une configuration déployée.
