ENDOLUMINAL PROSTHESIS

摘要

An endoluminal prosthesis for deployment in a body which has a first tubular structure for stabilising the prosthesis, the first tubular structure being substantially concentric about a first axis and movable between a compact and an expanded state. The prosthesis also has a second tubular structure for supporting an artificial heart valve, the second tubular structure being substantially concentric about a second axis and moveable between a compact and an expanded state. The first axis and the second axis extend at different angles when the first and second structures are in the compact and/or expanded state. A third structure which is shape and/or length adjustable is positioned between the first and second structures.
