ABSTRACT:
A banding prosthesis comprising an expandable helical member encased within an elongatable outer covering. The ends of the outer covering are sealed and incorporate silk sutures for joining the two ends of the banding prosthesis to form a band about the circumference of a tubular organ such as a blood vessel so as to encircle and constrict the organ lumen. An intraluminal balloon dilator is inserted within the lumen of the organ in the region of the band and is inflated to dilate the banding prosthesis and allow the constricted lumen to expand. The design of the present invention allows for gradual dilation of the banding prosthesis in stages.
