The invention relates to a medical
implant (10) for treating a local
lesion in a vessel, in particular for treating a bifurcation
aneurysm, comprising a radially compressible and expandable support body (11), which has at least one support mesh (12) and one compression mesh (13), each of these formed by interwoven filaments (20, 21), wherein the compression mesh (13) is braided in sections into the support mesh (12) in such a way as to form at least one compressed region (13a) having a first
porosity (13b) and at least one support region (12a) having a second
porosity (12b), which is free with respect to the compression mesh (13), as a result of which the ratio of the first
porosity (13b) to the second porosity (12b) is between 1:1.15 and 1:2, in particular between 1:1.2 and 1:2, in particular between 1:1.4 and 1:2, in particular between 1:1.6 and 1:2, in particular between 1:1.8 and 1:2. The invention further relates to a method for producing a medical
implant (10), in which at least two filaments (20) are braided helically about a common longitudinal axis and form a support mesh (12), wherein, during the braiding of the filaments (20) of the support mesh (12), one or more filaments (21) which form a compression mesh (13) are integrally braided into at least one section of the support mesh (12) in such a way as to form at least one compressed region (13a) having a first porosity (13b) and at least one support region (12a) having a second porosity (12b), which is free with respect to the compression mesh (13).
