EXPANDABLE INTRALUMINAL GRAFT

摘要

EXPANDABLE INTRALUMINAL GRAFT A plurality of expandable and deformable intraluminal vascular grafts are expanded within a blood vessel by an angioplasty ballon associated with a catheter to dilate and expand the lumen of a blood vessel. The grafts may be thinwalled tubular members having a plurality of slots disposed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tubular members, and adjacent grafts are flexibly connected by at least one connector member.
