  • of the type that, since it can be introduced endoluminally into a vascular channel for application, comprises a prosthetic body with cylindrical walls and open bases that can be radially expanded up to the limit at which its external surfaces contact the damaged vascular walls of the above-cited vascular channel, with the internal surfaces of said body forming a prosthetic circulatory passage;

    characterized in that it comprises;

    a) a number of connectors that, distributed such that they encircle the cylindrical walls of the prosthetic body, are attached to the internal surfaces of said cylindrical walls;

    b) in each connector, the rotary end disconnectable from a respective semi-flexible cable as an applicator of sutures, which cable extends beyond said prosthetic passage, terminating in an external rotary control end; and

    c) passing through each connector and the adjacent cylindrical wall of said prosthetic body, a respective spiral suture, the anchoring end of which is inserted in said rotary end of its respective semi-flexible cable.
