STENT ATTACHMENT FOR ENDOVASCULAR ANEURYSM REPAIR

摘要

The technology described herein relates to a stent graft and a method of making the stent wherein the stent comprises interconnected struts and is connected to the graft material by applying at least one band of polymer so as to cover at least a portion of at least some of the struts. A stent supported area is created by the stent's attachment to the graft material and the at least one band of polymer is applied so as to leave the majority of the stent supported area uncovered by the at least one band of polymer.
