The invention covers removable endo-arterial devices intended to repair detachments in the arterial walls. A device according to said invention includes a deformable cuff (3) made of a netting of interlocked wires and fixed to the distal end of a catheter (4) the other end of which is equipped with a funnel (4a). It also includes a stiff wire (7) extending over the entire length of the catheter and attached to the distal end of said deformable cuff (3). When this wire is pulled, the cuff is dilated and applies itself against the arterial wall. One application is the repair of flaps of arterial wall which were detached during the course of an intervention correcting a stenosis with an inflatable balloon. |
