Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical device (radially self-expandable stent) which conform to the morphology of the treated vessel.SOLUTION: The invention relates to a system for the treatment of body passageways, in particular, vessels with vascular disease. The system includes an endovascular graft (10) with a reduced profile delivery configuration and a deployed configuration in which it conforms to the morphology of the treated vessel or body passageway to be treated as well as various connector members (24) and stents (40). The stent includes a serpentine configuration having a plurality of struts (41) and having a plurality of proximal and distal apices (46), and a barb (43) integrally formed as an extension of each strut and extending outwardly from a position on each strut.
