Abstract
A tubular endoprosthesis (10) having a flexible tubular skirt (12) designed to channel a body fluid. The endoprosthesis includes a collar (14) for connection of the skirt (12) through a lateral wall (110) of a tubular conduit (108). The connection collar (14) is initially joined to one end of the skirt (12) and has, at its periphery, elements (34) for securing it to the wall (110). The securing elements (34) are deformable between an initial docking position and a final connection position.
