1. A tubular supporting prosthesis, comprising:
- a mesh structure,wherein the mesh structure comprises at least two structural rings which are connected to each other via connecting members and are disposed point-symmetrically about the longitudinal axis of the supporting prosthesis,wherein the structural rings comprise at least one predetermined breaking point,wherein said prosthesis is capable of growth, andwherein the at least one predetermined breaking point comprises multiple layers of different biologically degradable materials, wherein the multiple layers of different biologically degradable materials are located only at the predetermined breaking point area, such that the rate of dissolution of the predetermined breaking point proceeds in a chronologically graduated manner.

30. A tubular supporting prosthesis, comprising:
-
a mesh structure, wherein the mesh structure comprises at least two structural rings which are connected to each other via connecting members and are disposed point-symmetrically about the longitudinal axis of the supporting prosthesis, wherein the structural rings comprise at least one predetermined breaking point, wherein said prosthesis is capable of growth, and wherein the at least one predetermined breaking point comprises multiple layers of different biologically degradable materials, wherein at least one of the multiple layers of different biologically degradable materials, the multiple layers of different biologically degradable materials being located only at the predetermined breaking point, has a different rate of dissolution than one or more of the other multiple layers at the predetermined breaking point, such that the rate of dissolution of the predetermined breaking point proceeds in a chronologically graduated manner.
