PCT No. PCT/IB96/00569 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 20, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 20, 1997 PCT Filed Jun. 7, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/41592 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 27, 1996A bifurcated endovascular stent is formed by a pair of tube-defining members, one of which is open at its ends and has a lateral opening between its ends. The other tubular structure is adapted to be advanced into one end of the first tube and exit through the lateral opening. The tube-defining members are formed in modular construction, each including an elongate spine and a plurality of generally tube defining modules attached to the spine in a longitudinally sequenced array. The modular construction enables a wide range of variations in the characteristics of the stent, including longitudinal flexibility, radial expansion among others. |
