A device for fixation in a body lumen comprising a tubular stent (90) of open weave construction (98, 100) which can be compressed to facilitate delivery to a treatment site within the body lumen; and a continuous elastomeric film (92) formed axially along at least one-third of the axial length of the stent (90), a portion of the open weave construction (98, 100) of the stent (90) being substantially free of continuous film so as to provide a fixation region of the stent for fixing the stent within the body of the lumen by radial expansion into surface engagement with a tissue wall segment defining the body lumen. <IMAGE> |
