の利点は、展開中に補綴具が例えば、通常の径（即ち、

保持長さが所期の又は最小の必要な軸方向長さを下廻る
ことである。これと同様に、可塑的に変形可能なステン

故に、本発明の一つの目的は、半径方向に自然膨張する
とき、その軸方向の長さを略維持し得る開放した織物状
のら旋状でかつ編組みした構造の補綴具を提供すること
である。
本発明の別の目的は、少なくとも２つのステント部分か

好適なアプローチは、自然膨張型ステントの外端、例え

にあるとき、第１の径より大きい径を備えており、圧縮

部分に対しより大きい回復力を作用させる傾向となる。
端部径は、中間領域の径より５％以上大きくし、組織の
壁部分に沿った空洞の比較的一定の径に対して著しく異

これと別に、各ステント部分の外端部分は、中間領域と
同一径であるが、より大きい径の単繊維にて形成し、単

編組みし、ら旋状に巻き付けたストランド又は単繊維の
開放した織物が管状ステントの好適な構造体である。該
開放した織物構造体により、ステントは例えば供給中、
その径の少なくとも３倍の一定の径まで略自然に膨張す

て、各ステント部分の軸方向長さが著しく短縮するが、
ステントの重なり合う中間領域が存在するため、その全

望の固定位置に位置決めしたならば、外側シースを基端
方向に引き出し、ステントがカテーテルに当接し、固着
されてシースと共に基端方向に移動しないように固着す
る。ステントの末端部分が最初に自然膨張し、組織に対
して膨張するとき、該末端部分はステント部分を基単方
向に移動しないように固着する。ステントの一端が組織
によって拘束され、その他端が静止カテーテルにより拘
束された状態のときのステントの軸方向長さは略一定で
ある。ステント部分の半径方向への膨張に伴ってステン
ト部分の軸方向への長さが短縮する結果、中間領域の長
さが短くなり、全体的な軸方向長さを一定に維持する傾
向が得られる。
固定後、組織部分が更に付勢される結果、ステントは更
に半径方向に膨張出来る。しかし、ステントの両端は固
着されており、ステント部分の軸方向への長さが短縮す
ることにより、中間の重なり合い領域のみが影響を受け
る。このように、ステントが半径方向に自然膨張すると
き、ステントの長さが短くなるという望ましくない欠点
を伴わずに、開放した織物構造体の利点が維持される。
