Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a vascular prosthesis capable of being anastomosed onto a tubular pipe with a side opening or an end opening. The prothesis having, at at least one of its ends, an annular sheet delimited by a free edge designed to be positioned in the immediate vicinity of opening in the pipe. The sheet is shaped so that it can be applied around the opening in the pipe against the inside or outside wall of the latter, while preserving its free edge in the immediate vicinity of the periphery of the opening in the pipe.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A vascular prosthesis capable of being anastomosed onto a tubular pipe provided with a side opening or end opening, the prosthesis comprising: an annular sheet on at least one end of the prosthesis, the sheet delimited by a free edge designed to be positioned in the immediate vicinity of the opening in the pipe, wherein said sheet is shaped so that it can be applied around the opening in the pipe against the inside or outside wall of the pipe, while preserving its free edge in the immediate vicinity of the periphery of the opening in the pipe.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
A vascular prosthesis capable of being anastomosed onto a tubular pipe provided with a side opening or end opening, the prosthesis comprising: an annular sheet on at least one end of the prosthesis, the sheet delimited by a free edge designed to be positioned in the immediate vicinity of the opening in the pipe, wherein said sheet is shaped so that it can be applied around the opening in the pipe against the inside or outside wall of the pipe, while preserving its free edge in the immediate vicinity of the periphery of the opening in the pipe.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
62 words
The prosthesis according to claim 1, designed to create a side-to-end anastomosis, wherein the annular sheet is in the shape of a side part of a cylinder, delimited exteriorly by a peripheral edge corresponding substantially to the intersection of this cylinder with another cylinder, and delimited interiorly by its free edge which defines an orifice corresponding to the opening in the prosthesis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
77 words
The prosthesis according to claim 2, wherein the annular sheet is connected to the end of the prosthesis by a connecting part which starts at the end of the prosthesis and extends up to the peripheral edge of the sheet, said connecting part having substantially the same shape as the sheet so that the free end of the sheet is located in the vicinity of the beginning of the connecting part, at the end of the prosthesis.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
The prosthesis according to claim 2, wherein the sheet is located outside the connecting part such that the end of the prosthesis passes through the orifice delimited by free edge of the sheet and extends radially by the connecting part up to the peripheral edge of the sheet, which covers the connecting part.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The prosthesis according to claim 2, wherein the sheet is located inside connecting part.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
The prosthesis according to claim 1, designed to create an end-to-end anastomosis, wherein the prothesis has an annular sheet in the shape of a section of a cylinder between two planes perpendicular to the axis of this cylinder, and with a diameter substantially equal to that of the vessel to be treated.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
54 words
The prosthesis according to claim 6, wherein the sheet extends around the end of the prosthesis in the manner of a sleeve, being joined to the end at the opening of the prosthesis, while the free edge of the sheet is located around the prosthesis, at a distance from the opening in the prosthesis.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
43 words
The prosthesis according to claim 6, wherein the sheet extends inside the end of the prosthesis being joined to the prosthesis at the opening in the prosthesis, the free end of the sheet being at a distance from the opening of the prosthesis.
