A stent graft comprises a hollow cylindrical body and a sleeve catheter, wherein the body comprises at least a self-expanding stent and prosthetic material, wherein the body has a circumference in a compressed state which is smaller than a circumference of the body in an expanded state. The sleeve catheter is embodied as a flap-shaped compression element comprising two longitudinal edges, wherein a first longitudinal edge is attached to the body, wherein an extent of the flap-shaped compression element perpendicular to the first longitudinal edge is smaller than the circumference of the body in the expanded state, wherein, for compressing the body, the flap-shaped compression element can be placed around the body and a free second longitudinal edge is detachably fixable to fixation points arranged on the body and/or on the flap-shaped compression element.
A stent graft with a hollow cylindrical body and a sleeve catheter, wherein the body has at least one self-expanding stent and a prosthetic material, wherein the body, in a compressed state, has a circumference that is smaller than a circumference of the body in an expanded state, wherein the sleeve catheter is designed as a flap-shaped compression element having two longitudinal edges, wherein a first longitudinal edge is secured on the body, wherein an extent of the flap-shaped compression element perpendicular to the first longitudinal edge is smaller than the circumference of the body in the expanded state, wherein, for the purpose of compressing the body, the flap-shaped compression element can be placed around the body and a free, second longitudinal edge is releasably attachable to fixation points arranged on the body and/or on the flap-shaped compression element.
