Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An endoprosthesis for deployment within a body passage includes an external tubular framework disposed about a tubular member, e.g., a metallic film having a thickness of about 50 μm or less. The tubular member may be sandwiched between the external tubular framework and an internal tubular framework located internally of the external tubular framework and the tubular member. Whether or not the internal tubular framework is included, the endoprosthesis can be self-expanding. During deployment of the endoprosthesis using a deployment device, the external tubular framework prevents substantial frictional contact between the deployment device and the tubular member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An endoprosthesis for deployment within a body passage, comprising: a framework having fenestrations; and a tubular member having fenestrations that are smaller than the fenestrations in the framework, the tubular member comprising a metallic film having a thickness of about 50 μm or less, wherein the framework and the tubular member are secured to one another by a plurality of filaments that pass through the fenestrations, and can move relative to one ano…
