Abstract: A venous valve prosthesis for transporting a flow of body fluid in a vessel in a predetermined direction includes includes a hollow-cylindrical support structure. A skirt is connected to the support structure and forms a closed, circumferential jacket of the support structure. The prosthesis also includes a valve leaflet arrangement with a first valve leaflet and a second valve leaflet, each being connected to the skirt. A downstream edge of the first valve leaflet and a downstream edge of the second valve leaflet are opposite to each other and configured in such a manner that in a first state of the valve leaflet arrangement they form an opening for blood to flow through in the predetermined direction and in a second state of the valve leaflet arrangement the opening is closed and to prevent a backflow of blood in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction. A ratio of the inner diameter of the support structure to its length in the predetermined direction is at most 1.

Abstract: An intraluminal endoprosthesis has a biodegradable metallic supporting structure and a biodegradable sleeve surrounding the supporting structure. The sleeve includes fibres applied to the outer side of the supporting structure. The sleeve can be formed from fibres that each have a polymer core and a hydrogel casing. The sleeve can the sleeve be formed from a fibre mixture of polymer fibres and hydrogel fibres.

Abstract: An intraluminal endoprosthesis such as a stent has a metallic supporting structure and a sleeve surrounding the supporting structure. The sleeve can include fibres which are applied to an outer side of the supporting structure. The fibres each have a polymer core and a hydrogel casing connected thereto. The sleeve can also be formed from a fibre mixture of polymer and hydrogel fibres.

Abstract: A method for producing an intraluminal endoprosthesis. The method forms a sheath on a support structure of the endoprosthesis from polymer fibres. A polymer solution is dispensed from a nozzle by f electrospinning. The polymer solution includes at least one biodegradable polymer polymer and at least one additive. The additive is selected from the group consisting of: 1,3-dioxan-2-one, 1,4-dioxan-2-one, triethyl citrate, glycerol triacetate, n-butyryl tri-n-hexyl citrate, polyethylene glycol, L-? phosphatidylcholine.
