Abstract
Abstract A tubular endoprosthesis ( 10 ) having a flexible tubular skirt ( 12 ) designed to channel a body fluid. The endoprosthesis includes a collar ( 14 ) for connection of the skirt ( 12 ) through a lateral wall ( 110 ) of a tubular conduit ( 108 ). The connection collar ( 14 ) is initially joined to one end of the skirt ( 12 ) and has, at its periphery, elements ( 34 ) for securing it to the wall ( 110 ). The securing elements ( 34 ) are deformable between an initial docking position and a final connection position.
