An implantable tubular prosthesis having cuffs adapted to accommodate stents. The prosthesis includes a hollow tubular conduit with cuffs at each end. Each of the cuffs has a closed end and a open end to create a slot for housing the stents. The prosthesis may be an implantable tubular intraluminal prosthesis for insertion within a body vessel, where the hollow tubular conduit is radially expandable to buttress the body vessel. Alternatively, the prosthesis may be an implantable tubular prosthetic graft for surgical replacement of damaged or diseased existing body vessels. The tubular prosthesis and stent combination may be radially expanded so that the stents anchor the prosthesis within the lumen. The slots which house the stents, prevent contact between the stents and fluids flowing through the body vessel. <MATH> |
