<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method to enhance bonding in an endoluminal prosthesis. <P>SOLUTION: The endoluminal prosthesis includes a first membrane 25 having a lumen for allowing fluid flow, and stents 38, 48, 58, and 68 having contracted and expanded states. At least one surface enhancement member 605, separately from the stent, is secured to the stent prior to a coaxial overlapping state of the stent and the first membrane. The at least one surface enhancement member has stronger bonding properties with the first membrane, relative to bonding properties of bare surfaces of the stent with the first membrane, when the stent and the first membrane are in the coaxially overlapping state. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
