A vascular prosthesis configured to be implanted in a vessel, having substantially a T-shape, comprises a proximal tubular part forming the base of the 'T' and a distal tubular part forming the head of the “T”. The proximal tubular part has a first lumen, the distal tubular part has a second lumen, and the first and second lumens are fluidly connected to form a common lumen. The distal tubular part comprises a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion extending axially between the first and second end portions. The first and second end portions are radially expandable. The proximal tubular part is connected to the intermediate portion and the second end portion is movable between a retracted position in which the second end portion is axially restrained and a deployed position in which the second end portion is axially deployed.

Vascular prosthesis

Implantation device for implanting a prosthesis () in a vessel (), including a balloon () and a dilation catheter () for supplying fluid to the balloon (), the dilation catheter () having a proximal end, a distal end () and a distal part designed to be introduced into the vessel (), characterized in that the distal part includes a bend () and also an upstream portion () and a downstream portion () that are contiguous to the bend and that are arranged between the bend and, respectively, the proximal end and the distal end ().

Device for implanting a vascular prosthesis

The present invention provides an implantable device for semiautomatic suturing using a surgical thread, the suturing enabling biological and/or artificial tissues to be united, the device comprising: blocking means enabling two strands of the thread of a suture to be connected together in a blocking zone; a bearing element having a bearing surface for bearing against the tissues to be sutured together; and controlled tensioning means for applying controlled tensioning to said thread, and suitable, after the two strands of said thread have been blocked together using said blocking means, for exerting a tension at a first predetermined tension value, with the junction between said bearing element and said blocking zone of the device being provided by said controlled tensioning means.
