摘要 |
The invention concerns the surgical field and more particularly that of devices used in cardiovascular-vascular surgery. It concerns more specifically a modular and expandable endoprosthesis (1) for the reconstruction of an arterial bifurcation, consisting of a main prosthetic body (2), two prosthetic bifurcating branches (3) and optionally one or several adjusting stages (4). The invention is characterised in that the main prosthetic body (2) is a bifid prosthetic body in the form of a single tube or a cylinder at its proximal and distal ends called proximal tubular end (6) and distal tubular end (6'), splitting or separating between its proximal and distal tubular ends into two distinct and independent ducts, called branches or bifid tubes (7). The invention also concerns the use of the endoprosthesis for reconstructing and/or re-channelling pathological arterial segments and in particular those having a bifurcation.
