ENDOLUMINAL PROSTHESIS

摘要

An endoluminal prosthesis (500) comprises a tubular body (502) suitable to turn from a collapsed state to an expanded or partially expanded state. The tubular body develops along a longitudinal axis (504) and comprises a plurality of closed paths (506a, 506b, 506c, 506d) developing along a substantially circumferential direction. The paths are serially arranged along the longitudinal axis. Each of said paths is connected to the one(s) immediately adjacent. Moreover, each of said paths comprises strut portions, or struts (508), each of which is characterized in that the ratio of the strut length (L) to the strut width (W) is of at least 20.
