STENT WITH REDUCED THROMBOGENICITY

摘要

A tissue graft construct and method for repairing the inner linings of damaged or diseased vertebrate vessels are described. The method comprises the steps of positioning a tissue graft construct within a blood vessel at a site in need of repair. The tissue graft construct comprises a stent (3) covered with submucosal tissue (4) wherein the stent (3) is formed for receiving the distal end of a catheter (1) having an inflatable balloon (2).
