  • VASCULAR IMPLANT AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF
    Publication number: 20220316112
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a vascular implant. The method comprises: obtaining vessel parameters; creating a computer-aided model of a vascular implant based on the obtained vessel parameters, wherein the vascular implant comprises one or more modules, each comprising at least one tubular liner body; selecting one or more structural elements of a respective module from the group consisting of: one or more diameter changes along at least one tubular liner body, one or more bifurcations, one or more branches, one or more recesses, one or more local reinforcements, and one or more iliac vessel grafts. The method further comprises: determining parameters relating to the one or more selected structural elements; integrating the structural elements into the computer-aided model according to the determined parameters; and producing the vascular implant based on the created computer-aided model. Furthermore, the invention relates to vascular implants produced by means of the method.
