ABSTRACT:
A radially expandable endoprosthesis device (10) comprises an elongated sleeve member (12) in which the radially outward expansion of the sleeve member (12) is initially limited by connecting strips (22) which are operatively connected to the sleeve member (12). The connecting strips (22) are selectively removable to allow further radial outward expansion. Further, the sleeve can be C-shaped in cross sections when expanded, allowing space for growth of a vessel contained therein.
