Abstract (en)
[origin: FR2758253A1] The invention concerns an expandable tubular device consisting of an assembly of radially expandable cylindrical elements, aligned along a common longitudinal axis and connected two by two successively by a plurality of connecting members spaced at an angle and coplanar with said cylindrical elements. The invention is characterised in that these connecting members (3) are capable of being elongated along the longitudinal axis to compensate the reduction in length of the cylindrical elements (2) when they expand radially; each connecting member (3) forming an undulation consisting of at least three elementary U-shaped portions mutually connected two by two successively in the opposite direction, and the free ends of which (3a, 3b) are respectively connected to two adjacent cylindrical elements (2). The invention is applicable to corporeal ducts and in particular to blood vessels with stenosis.
