Abstract
An implant (10, 10′, 10″, 10″), in particular an intraluminal endoprosthesis, with an open-worked, hollow cylindrical and/or hollow conical main structure (11), wherein the main structure (11) can adopt a compressed state or an expanded state. To simplify final assembly by the doctor, a first tubular shaft (16, 16′) is additionally provided, on the outer face of which the main structure (11) is arranged in the compressed state, at least in portion, wherein the first shaft (16, 16′) has a first connection portion (20, 23), with which the first shaft (16, 16′) can be connected to the inner shaft (32, 32′, 32a, 32b) of a catheter (30, 30′, 30″). A corresponding system formed of an implant of this type and of a catheter (30, 30′, 30″) and a method for producing such a system.
