摘要 |
The invention relates to a radially expandable vessel support which comprises a multitude of zigzag shaped annular elements ( 2, 3 ), interconnected in a flexible way by bending elements. Said annular elements define a vessel support ( 1 ) with a proximal and a distal end and a longitudinal axis, where the zigzag shaped annular elements ( 2, 3 ) are arranged side by side across the longitudinal axis of the vessel support ( 1 ), where zigzag shaped annual elements ( 2, 3 ) are linked to at least one further annual element by means of at least one bending element which is comprised either of a pair of S-shaped bars ( 20, 21 ) or of a pair of bow shaped bars ( 4, 5 ) which are located diametrically on the circumference and whose apertures show into opposite directions.
