Abstract
This device comprises a tubular endoprosthesis () of axis (X-X') and a stent () of axis (Y-Y′) defining a distal retention opening (A) and a proximal retention opening (B). The device comprises a distal wire-like tie (A) and a proximal wire-like tie (B). Each tie (A,B) forms a retaining loop () running around the endoprosthesis (). Each retaining loop () can stretch between a configuration in which the endoprosthesis () is kept in a contracted state against the stent () and a configuration in which the endoprosthesis () is released. When each retaining loop () is in its releasing configuration, the axis (X-X′) of the endoprosthesis () is inclined with respect to the axis (Y-Y′) of the stent () when no external stresses are applied. The axis (X-X′) of the endoprosthesis () intersects the axis (Y-Y′) of the stent in the internal line () defined by the endoprosthesis ().
