Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure is directed to an endoprosthesis comprising a graft component and at least one support component with varying compressibility along the length of the endoprosthesis. In various embodiments, the endoprosthesis comprises at least a first segment and a second segment, wherein the first segment is more compressible than the second. In another embodiment having a second segment between the first and third segments, the third segment can also be more compressible than the second segment. Alternatively, in an embodiment, a second segment can have greater rigidity than a first segment, as well as a third segment, if present.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An endoprosthesis comprising: a graft component and a support component defining a lumen and comprising at least a first segment and a second segment, wherein the lumen is continuous through the first segment and second segment, and wherein the first segment has greater longitudinal compressibility than the second segment, wherein the undulations along a vertical axis of the support component are more skewed in the second segment than in the first segm…
