| abstract |
The device comprises a stent (1) and a separating means (11), the stent (1) having a number of areas of separation (8) and the separating means (11) being able to be introduced through the wall of the stent (1) at an area of separation (8). According to embodiments of the invention, - each area of separation (8) has a number of separable junctions (6); - the activation of the separating means (11) separates at least one of the separable junctions (6) of said area of separation (8) so as to separate the stent (1) into two stent sections (1a, 1b) at the area of the bifurcation (100) and to allow the stent sections (1a, 1b) to further expand to respectively conform to a shape of the main conduit (102) and to a shape of the secondary conduit (103) at the area of the bifurcation (103). |
