The kit includes, in addition to the expandable prosthesis, a catheter that is introduced inside the lumen. A radially expanding device and an envelope surround the prosthesis when the prosthesis is in a contracted configuration. Two extremities of the envelope are attached to form a single unit with the catheter. The envelope incorporates a flexible sheath that can form a compressed configuration and an extended configuration. The sheath comes into external contact with an internal wall of the intracorporal lumen and detaches itself from the remainder of the envelope. |
