Abstract

An endoluminal graft includes a tubular graft material having a closed sleeve integral with the tubular graft material. The closed sleeve extends a distance along the tubular graft material. A length of wire extends at least partially along the distance and is enclosed by the sleeve. The tubular graft material and the sleeve may comprise a single piece of graft material. The sleeve may be a closed circumferential sleeve and/or a closed longitudinal sleeve.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An endoluminal graft comprising:
a tubular graft material having a lumen and a separate closed sleeve adjacent the lumen, the lumen and the sleeve comprising a single piece of graft material, the closed sleeve positioned at an end of the endoluminal graft and comprising an interior void extending along a circumference of the end about a periphery of the lumen; and,
a wire having a length formed into a generally closed shape;
wherein the length of the wire formed into the generally closed shape is at least partially enclosed within the closed sleeve; and,
wherein the wire extends through an opening in the sleeve.

2. The endoluminal graft of claim 1 , wherein the closed sleeve is integral with the tubular graft material and characterized by the absence of a circumferential seam.

3. The endoluminal graft of claim 1 , wherein the closed sleeve comprises an end length of the graft material folded outward onto an exterior of the graft material.

4. The endoluminal graft of claim 1 , wherein the closed sleeve comprises an end length of the graft material folded inward onto an interior of the graft material.

5. The endoluminal graft of claim 1 , wherein the closed sleeve comprises a continuous seam securing an end portion of the tubular graft material to a body portion of the tubular graft material.

6. The endoluminal graft of claim 1 , wherein the single piece of graft material is a textile.

7. An endoluminal graft comprising:
a tubular graft material having a lumen with a length and a circumference;
a closed circumferential sleeve separate from and adjacent to the lumen having an interior void extending in a direction about the circumference at an end of the length;
a closed longitudinal sleeve separate from and adjacent to the lumen comprising an interior void extending along the length; and,
a wire positioned at least partially within the closed circumferential sleeve and the closed longitudinal sleeve.

8. The endoluminal graft of claim 7 , wherein the wire comprises a first length formed into a generally closed shape positioned at least partially within the closed circumferential sleeve, and a second length formed into a spine positioned at least partially within the closed longitudinal sleeve.

9. The endoluminal graft of claim 7 , further comprising an opening in the closed circumferential sleeve and an opening in the closed longitudinal sleeve through which the wire extends.

10. The endoluminal graft of claim 7 , wherein the closed circumferential sleeve and the closed longitudinal sleeve comprise a single piece of graft material.

11. The endoluminal graft of claim 7 , wherein the circumferential sleeve and the longitudinal sleeve are integral with the tubular graft material.

12. The endoluminal graft of claim 7 , wherein the tubular graft material, the closed circumferential sleeve, and the closed longitudinal sleeve are formed of a single piece of graft material, and wherein the single piece of graft material is a textile.
