A unitary or integral stent graft having both structural and fluid exclusion properties if formed. The stent graft includes structural elements, such as wires, which are interdigitated with fluid barrier elements, such as a fabric, to form a unitary body such that the graft need not be sewn or otherwise attached to a structural stent member. In one aspect, the stent graft has a shape memory feature, such that is may be manufactured in its final use configuration, distorted for easy delivery to an aneurysmal blood vessel, site and deployed, and in location regain its original shape. |
