ABSTRACT:
Improved expandable tubular prostheses and methods for their use are provided by this invention. The prostheses include a resilient member having longitudinal sides and transverse ends and are disposed in a tubular configuration about a transverse axis. The resilient member comprises ratcheting means for allowing the selective radial expansion and locking of the tubular prostheses in at least one fixed diameter. The prosthesis can also be removed after temporary use.
