Patent ID: 8801771

Claim:
Intraluminal endoprosthesis, having a basic structure configured in the shape of a hollow cylinder or a basic lattice, wherein in an expanded state, an inner volume enclosed by the basic structure is changeable by means of the elasticity of the basic structure, wherein the basic structure is configured to assume a normal state and a state of significant compression with regard to its compression behavior, wherein in the normal state a crosspiece runs in the longitudinal direction of the basic structure and is not taut and in the state of significant compression the basic structure is rigid and the crosspiece runs more transverse to the longitudinal direction and is taut, wherein the state of significant compression is characterized by the fact that an inside diameter threshold value of the basic structure amounting to about 75% compared to the inside diameter in the normal state is not reached or that a compression pressure threshold value from between about 0.2 bar to about 0.075 bar is exceeded.
