Abstract: A diametrically adjustable endoprosthesis includes a controlled expansion element extending along at least a portion of a graft and is supported by a stent. The controlled expansion element diametrically constrains and limits expansion of the endoprosthesis. Upon deployment from a smaller, delivery configuration, the endoprosthesis can expand to the initial diameter set by the controlled expansion element. Thereafter, the endoprosthesis can be further diametrically expanded (e.g., using balloon dilation) by mechanically altering the controlled expansion element.

Abstract: The apparatus of the present invention serves to stun animals prior to slaughter, these being introduced with a gondola into a pit. On a sidewall of the pit is/are designed a gas module, preferably a plurality of gas modules. Each gas module comprises a gas introduction line having a multitude of pores through which an anaesthetic gas can flow laterally into the pit. The multitude of pores ensures a laminar inflow of the anaesthetic gas. The lateral laminar inflow of the anaesthetic gas avoids an increase in the stress of the animals being stunned, thus enabling humane stunning prior to slaughter. At the same time, the modular construction by means of the gas modules facilitates simple dimensioning of the gas introduction capacities required and also the construction and retrofitting of corresponding apparatuses.
