Abstract
Multilumen implant for application in human and animal vascular systems/bodies, with a substantially tubular element (1) divided into a proximal (2) and a distal section (3), and a fixation element (8) for the fixation of the proximal section (2) in a target vessel, wherein the tubular element (1) branches into two or more lumens (4, 5) in the distal section (3), with the fixation element (8) being at least one clamping ring (8) arranged on the outside of the proximal section (2) of the tubular element (1), and wherein the free end of the proximal section of the tubular element (1) is folded around the clamping ring (8) and embraces the clamping ring (8) in a pocket-like manner.

A multilumen implant for application in human and animal vascular systems/bodies, with a substantially tubular element (1) divided into a proximal (2) and a distal section (3), and a fixation element (8) for the fixation of the proximal section (2) in a target vessel, wherein the tubular element (1) branches into two or more lumens (4, 5) in the distal section (3), and wherein the fixation element (8) has a single clamping ring having an undulating shape that is meandering or zigzagging, arranged on the outside of the proximal section (2) of the tubular element (1), and wherein a free end of the proximal section (2) of the tubular element (1) facing away from the distal section (3) is folded around single clamping ring and embraces the single clamping ring in a pocket-like manner, and wherein a length of the free end of the proximal section (2) of the tubular element (1) that is folded around the single clamping ring corresponds to at least a length of the single clamping ring and wherein the two or more lumens (4, 5) in the distal section (3) are at least partially arranged inside the single clamping ring.
