Zusammenfassung:An endoluminal prosthesis, comprising a tubular body, said tubular body developing along a longitudinal axis, said tubular body comprising a plurality of serpentines, which develop along a substantially circumferential direction, each of said serpentines comprising arm portions of a preset width transversal to their main longitudinal extension, and bend portions joining two subsequent arms, at least one bridge, having a main longitudinal extension, connecting two adjacent serpentines, wherein the bends facing an adjacent serpentine are circumferentially staggered relative to the opposite bends of the adjoining serpentine, both when the prosthesis is collapsed and when the prosthesis is expanded or partially expanded, wherein the at least one bridge connecting adjacent serpentines extends substantially straight, and wherein the at least one bridge has a width transversal to its main longitudinal direction of a greater value than the arm width.
