Abstract

A frangible bridge structure (4) for a stent includes three successive branches (11, 12, 13), a first (11) of which is connected to one of the stent portions (2) which the bridge structure (4) makes it possible to connect and a second (12) of which is connected to the other of the stent portions (2) which the bridge structure (4) makes it possible to connect, these first and second branches (11, 12) being connected, by two bent portions, to a third intermediate branch (13), between the first and second branches (11, 12), these three branches (11, 12, 13) extending parallel to each other with the longitudinal direction of these branches preferably being oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the stent, and in immediate proximity to each other.
