    摘要: An angioplasty stent comprises a body comprising a plurality of successive segments connected in pairs by bridge means so that the successive segments can be oriented relative to one another for the purposes of bending of the body in any direction defined by a linear combination of respective orientation axes defined by the bridge connection means. During the radial expansion of the stent, the axial contraction of the segments resulting from the opening-out of the respective loops is compensated by axial projection of the bridge elements from the respective concave portions. The wall of the body comprises arms for supporting a lumen as well as regions which are selectively deformable during the expansion of the stent, the arms and the selectively deformable regions having different cross-sections and/or cross-sectional areas. At least one portion of the body may have a substantially reticular structure, the branches of which define geometrical figures identifiable as fractals.

    摘要: A prosthesis for annuloplasty comprising a laminar or tubular element having a plurality of apertures along at least one portion. Preferably, the shape, dimensions, and arrangements of the apertures in this prosthesis are chosen in such a way as to give the prosthesis a differentiated flexibility in dependence on the location and direction of application of an external stress.

    摘要: A process for setting an angioplasty stent on a corresponding insertion element, such as a delivery catheter, in which the angioplasty stent is subjected to an action of radial contraction. The stent is in a radially contracted state before being placed on the insertion element. Preferably, radial contraction of the stent results in a diameter at least marginally smaller than the diameter of the insertion element, e.g., a balloon catheter. After the stent has been set on the insertion element, in the structure of the stent there remain residual states of constraint which act in the direction of securing the stent in the condition of coupling to the insertion element.

    摘要: This invention is a stent having a substantially tubular body defining a longitudinal axis comprising first and second adjacent annular segments, each segment defining a substantially sinusoidal shape having a plurality of peaks and valleys, the peaks of the first segment extending toward the second segment and being aligned longitudinally with the valleys of the second segment. The stent has a plurality of bridge elements having a U-shaped portion between first and second connector arms, the first connector arm of one bridge element being connected between a first peak and a first valley of the first segment and the second connector arm being connected between a first peak and a first valley of the second segment.
