Abstract
The present invention relates to an endolumenal prosthesis comprising a tubular body adapted to convert from a contracted condition to an expanded condition. The tubular body develops along a longitudinal axis and comprises: a plurality of coils and at least one bridge. The coils develop along a substantially circumferential direction and the bridge connects two coils. The coils are realized in a persistent material, while the bridge is realized in a bioabsorbable material.
