Abstract:
An endoprosthesis for the treatment of blood-vessel bifurcation stenosis, comprising three tubular sections and two articulation connectors namely:a proximal section;a first distal section aligned at least approximately with the proximal section and intended for insertion into a first blood vessel branching off from the bifurcation, the first distal section being linked to the proximal section by a lateral first connector; anda second distal section located at the side of the first distal section and intended for insertion into a second blood vessel branching off from the bifurcation, both distal sections having their proximal ends linked by a second connector which allows relative pivoting of said distal sections about said second connector to accommodate the blood-vessel bifurcation, wherein the distal end of the proximal section is chamfered and the proximal end of the second distal section is tapered at the other side of the second connector and able to fit into the chamfered form of the proximal section.
