Abstract
The present invention relates to a self-expanding vascular implant for implanting into a blood vessel of a patient. The vascular implant has a main body and at least one side body, and has integrally formed, one-piece stent springs, which are successively arranged in the longitudinal axis of the main body, with each stent spring meandering perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and an implant material which is fixed to and connects the stent springs. The stent springs have pointed arches that alternately point toward the proximal end and the distal end of the main body and parallel to the longitudinal axis thereof. The at least one side body that branches off from the main body is, in the self-expanded state, set out at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the main body.
