Abstract:
An expandable endovascular prosthesis comprising:a body having a proximal end and a distal end; a first expandable portion disposed between the proximal end and the distal end, the first expandable portion being (i) made from a plastically deformable material, and (ii) expandable from a first, unexpanded state to a second, expanded state with a radially outward force to cause plastic deformation thereof to urge the first expandable portion against a vascular lumen; and a second expandable portion attached to the first expandable portion, the second expandable portion being made from a plastically deformable material; expansion of the first expandable portion causing plastic deformation thereof which causes expansion and plastic deformation of a free end of the second expandable portion so, that the second expandable portion is larger after expansion.
