摘要：
A self-expanding, self-restraining endoluminal prosthesis is configured to be compressible into a collapsed state, and restrained in the collapsed state by structures integrated with the stent, and without the use of external structure. Such restraining structures engage one another to hold the prosthesis in the collapsed state. Expansile elements of the prosthesis urge the prosthesis to automatically expand once released from the collapsed state. Thus, once the restraining structures, which hold the prosthesis in the collapsed state, are disengaged, the prosthesis automatically expands to a deployed state.
