Abstract

The endoprosthesis comprises a body made from a metal tube (4) having an S-shape (1) cut out of its periphery, forming a first segment. A cut-out in the form of an inversed S-shape (2) of the entire periphery of the tube forms the second segment. The endoprosthesis also comprises a radio-opaque joint (3) which joins the two segments. This pattern of shaped cut-outs may be repeated several times to provide the desired length.

Description

ENDOPROTHESE
La présente invention concerne une endoprothése qui maintient la lumière interne d'une artère ou d'une veine ouverte aprés dilatation par ballonnet ou autres techniques d'angioplastie dans lequel est introduit un ballon de dilatation qui va dilater le dispositif et lui permettre de rester en place aprés retrait du ballon.ENDOPROSTHESIS
The present invention relates to a stent which maintains the internal lumen of an artery or vein open after balloon dilation or other angioplasty techniques in which a dilation balloon is introduced which will dilate the device and allow it to remain in place after removal of the ball.

Les endoprothéses existantes sont, courtes, rigides avec une résistance radiale,soit souple, sans résistance radiale et certaines difficiles à voir sous radioscopie et n'ont Qu'un rôle passif.The existing endoprostheses are short, rigid with radial resistance, flexible, without radial resistance and some difficult to see under fluoroscopy and have only a passive role.

La figure 1 représente de profil l'endoprothese selon l'invention qui permet de remédier à ces inconvénients.Figure 1 shows in profile the endoprosthesis according to the invention which overcomes these drawbacks.

La figure 2 représente en coupe, une variante de cette endoprothése. Figure 2 shows in section, a variant of this endoprosthesis.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte en effet selon une premiére caractéristique, une découpe en forme de S (1) qui forme le premier segment, sur tout le pourtour suivi d'un S inverser Z (2) qui forme le deuxième segment, relies entre eux par une articulation radiopaque(3) décalée d'un pas à chaque segment et d'un repére opaque à chaque extrémité ce qui lui donne souplesse et visibilité. -
La deuxième caractéristique, est qu'elle est découpée dans un tube métallique monobloc qui lui donne une résistance radiale.With reference to these drawings, the device indeed comprises, according to a first characteristic, an S-shaped cutout (1) which forms the first segment, around the entire periphery followed by an S reverse Z (2) which forms the second segment , linked together by a radiopaque articulation (3) offset by one step at each segment and an opaque marker at each end which gives it flexibility and visibility. -
The second characteristic is that it is cut from a single piece metal tube which gives it radial resistance.

La troisième caractéristique, est qu'elle peut etre recouverte d'une substance médicamenteuse qui lui donnerait un rôle actif.
La quatriéme caractéristique, est sa longueur qui est découpée d'un ou plusieurs segments par le praticien.The third characteristic is that it can be covered with a drug substance which would give it an active role.
The fourth characteristic is its length which is cut from one or more segments by the practitioner.

La découpe répétée ainsi plusieurs fois permet de donner à l'endoprothése une longueur voulue pour s'adapter exactement à ou aux plaques atéromateuses dans une même artère d'un patient
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, cette endoprothése aura des dimentions de l'ordre de 1,1mu de diamètre et de 44mm pour la longueur.The repeated cutting thus several times makes it possible to give the endoprosthesis a length desired to adapt exactly to or atheromatous plates in the same artery of a patient
By way of nonlimiting example, this endoprosthesis will have dimensions of the order of 1.1 mu in diameter and 44 mm for the length.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à un usage médical.The device according to the invention is particularly intended for medical use.

La réalisation de cette endoprothése peut être réalisée par découpe laser, acide, ou emboutissage. The production of this endoprosthesis can be carried out by laser cutting, acid, or stamping.
