摘要 |
The invention provides an expandable double-walled sleeve (4) whose space between the walls (4a, 4b) is filled with curable material and which is designed for the local support and/or reinforcement of a body vessel, absorbent material (14) being provided between its walls (4a, 4b) which are fabricated from an essentially non-extensible material. This achieves the advantage that the curable material remains uniformly distributed between the walls of the sleeve even if the sleeve is rolled around a still unexpanded PTA balloon in order to be brought to the desired position by means of said balloon. <IMAGE> |
