Abstract

See full text

A medical implant for the expansion and support of a body vessel is formed as elongate struts in a shape of a tube. The struts are plastically deformable at least in sections so that the implant remains permanently expanded in the radial direction transversely to a longitudinal axis of the struts in the expanded state. A course of the expandable element has a plurality of direction changes with respect to the longitudinal axis. The expandable element has a constriction point in the contracted state designed as an intended breaking point for the expandable element. The constriction point breaks upon application of excessive force applied in the radial direction preventing further expansion of the expandable element.
