Device for intralumenal implantation to expand blood vessel

摘要

The device (1) is formed from a thin walled hollow cylinder whose outer surface has a lattice-like construction with holes (3,7) bounded by primary strips (4) which are orientated in the longitudinal direction. Secondary strips (5,6) are connected to the primary strips and are inclined to the circumferential direction such that when the implant is expanded through adjustment in the circumferential direction, there is an increase in the volume of the device.
