Endoluminal prosthesis with interconnectable modules

摘要

A modular endoluminal prosthesis includes a first prosthetic module (40) having an opening at one end (41) and an internal surface (46), and a second prosthetic module (50) having an opening at one end (43) and an external surface (48). The first and second modules (40, 50) are connected by inserting the one end (43) of the second module (50) into the one end (41) of the first module (40). Either the internal surface (46) or the external surface (48) comprises at least one projection (42 or 44) and the other of the internal surface or the external surface comprises at least one surface feature (42 or 44) which engages the at least one projection (42 or 44) when the modules (40, 50) are connected.
