Abstract

A vascular graft incorporating a stent into a portion of its length. While various materials may be used for the vascular graft, the graft is preferably an ePTFE graft. The stent is preferably a self-expanding stent, although it may alternatively be a balloon expandable stent. The vascular graft preferably has a continuous inner tubular liner that extends between the opposing ends of the graft and provides a continuous luminal surface for blood contact that is uninterrupted by seams or joints. The length portion of the graft that does not include the stent has a greater wall thickness than does the portion including the stent.

Claims (25)

1. An implantable prosthesis having a length extending between opposing ends, comprising:
a first tubular element extending for the length of the prosthesis; and a first stent coaxially affixed around a first length portion of the first tubular element; and a second tubular element coaxially affixed around a second length portion of the first tubular element but not covering the first stent.
2. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 1 wherein one end of said second tubular element is located adjacent to one end of said first stent.
3. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 1 wherein said first tubular element provides an uninterrupted luminal surface extending for the length of the implantable endoprosthesis.
4. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 1 wherein said first stent is a self-expanding stent.
5. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 1 wherein said first stent is a balloon expandable stent.
6. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 1 wherein said prosthesis is provided with a therapeutic agent.
7. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 6 wherein said therapeutic agent comprises heparin.
8. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 6 wherein said therapeutic agent is provided over at least a portion of an inner surface of said prosthesis.
9. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 6 wherein said therapeutic agent is provided over at least a portion of an outer surface of said prosthesis.
10. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 9 wherein a therapeutic agent is provided over at least a portion of an inner surface of said prosthesis.
11. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 10 wherein the therapeutic agent that is provided over at least a portion of an inner surface of said prosthesis is different from the therapeutic agent that is provided over at least a portion of the outer surface.
12. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 1 wherein a second stent is affixed to a portion of said first tubular element.
13. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 1 wherein said first tubular element is branched and has at least three ends.
14. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 1 wherein said stent has a compacted state prior to deployment and a deployed state, and wherein said first tubular element is tapered, having inside diameters at each of the opposing ends that differ by at least 20% when said stent is in the deployed state without external diametrical constraint.
15. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 1 wherein said stent has a compacted state prior to deployment and a deployed state, and wherein said stent is provided with a constraining sheath in the compacted state.
16. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 15 wherein a portion of said constraining sheath is everted back over itself.
17. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 15 wherein at least a portion of said constraining sheath is corrugated.
18. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 15 wherein at least a portion of said constraining sheath is provided with a polymeric coating.
19. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 1 wherein said prosthesis is provided with a layer of elastomeric material between the first and second tubular elements.
20. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 1 wherein at least one of said opposing ends is a flared end.
21. An implantable prosthesis comprising a tubular element having a length extending between opposing ends of the prosthesis, said length including at least first and second length portions each having a wall thickness and having a stent affixed to said first length portion of the tubular element, wherein said second length portion does not include a stent and wherein the wall thickness of said second length portion is at least about 20% greater than the wall thickness of said first length portion.
22. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 21 wherein the tubular element extends continuously between the opposing ends of the prosthesis.
23. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 21 wherein the wall thickness of said second length portion is at least about 100% greater than the wall thickness of said first length portion.
24. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 21 wherein said stent is a self-expanding stent.
25. An implantable prosthesis according to claim 21 wherein said prosthesis is provided with a therapeutic agent.
