Popis: Restenosis and occlusion of atherosclerotic arteries are prevented by a newly developed arterial prosthesis consisting of a pliable and elastic wire mesh tube positioned to the balloon of an angioplasty catheter. As the balloon is inflated the prosthesis dilates and provides the arterial wall with a new mechanical support. This new device was successfully implanted in ten patients having an iliac artery stenosis and improved the therapeutic result of the preceding angioplasty. There were no complications.
