Abstract
L'invention concerne une méthode et un système permettant de traiter des sténoses corporelles de façon à ramener le diamètre luminal à l'intérieur d'une plage de diamètres normaux. Selon la méthode, on dilate la sténose de façon à étirer sa lumière jusqu'à un diamètre désiré; on extrude du collagène près du tissu existant de ladite sténose, afin qu'il soit absorbé par ledit tissu ou colle sur celui-ci, de façon à constituer une structure tissulaire améliorée par le collagène; et on fournit de l'énergie de façon à affecter ledit tissu amélioré par le collagène, notamment par ablation ou durcissement. On peut répéter l'ablation et le durcissement afin de créer une série de couches de collagène durci constituant un cadre support, de préférence en forme de cylindre creux. On termine la dilatation de la sténose en gonflant un ou plusieurs ballonnets, ou en comprimant le collagène extrudé, jusqu'à ce que le diamètre de la sténose soit supérieur à une plage de diamètre normaux. Quand l'énergie est émise dans le collagène, la sténose se rétracte et reprend son diamètre normal, par ablation du tissu excédentaire ou par aplatissement de sa paroi. On isole également le tissu de la sténose au moyen d'une série de ballonnets, à une extrémité de la sténose ou aux deux, de façon à l'isoler et à limiter le collagène à ce niveau. Une endoprothèse, fixée de préférence par le collagène sur le tissu, supporte également celui-ci. Le collagène adhère sur l'endoprothèse, qui supporte le tissu jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit absorbée par lui.
