## Abstract

An endoluminal graft includes a tubular graft material having a closed sleeve integral with the tubular graft material. The closed sleeve extends a distance along the tubular graft material. A length of wire extends at least partially along the distance and is enclosed by the sleeve. The tubular graft material and the sleeve may comprise a single piece of graft material. The sleeve may be a closed circumferential sleeve and/or a closed longitudinal sleeve.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An endoluminal graft comprising:
a tubular graft material having a lumen and a separate closed sleeve adjacent the lumen, the lumen and the sleeve comprising a single piece of graft material, the closed sleeve positioned at an end of the endoluminal graft and comprising an interior void extending along a circumference of the end about a periphery of the lumen; and,
a wire having a length formed into a generally closed shape;
wherein the length of the wire formed into the generally closed shape is at least partially enclosed within the closed sleeve; and,
wherein the wire extends through an opening in the sleeve.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The endoluminal graft of claim 1, wherein the closed sleeve is integral with the tubular graft material and characterized by the absence of a circumferential seam.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The endoluminal graft of claim 1, wherein the closed sleeve comprises an end length of the graft material folded outward onto an exterior of the graft material.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The endoluminal graft of claim 1, wherein the closed sleeve comprises an end length of the graft material folded inward onto an interior of the graft material.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The endoluminal graft of claim 1, wherein the closed sleeve comprises a continuous seam securing an end portion of the tubular graft material to a body portion of the tubular graft material.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The endoluminal graft of claim 1, wherein the single piece of graft material is a textile.

### Claim 7

An endoluminal graft comprising:
a tubular graft material having a lumen with a length and a circumference;
a closed circumferential sleeve separate from and adjacent to the lumen having an interior void extending in a direction about the circumference at an end of the length;
a closed longitudinal sleeve separate from and adjacent to the lumen comprising an interior void extending along the length; and,
a wire positioned at least partially within the closed circumferential sleeve and the closed longitudinal sleeve.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The endoluminal graft of claim 7, wherein the wire comprises a first length formed into a generally closed shape positioned at least partially within the closed circumferential sleeve, and a second length formed into a spine positioned at least partially within the closed longitudinal sleeve.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The endoluminal graft of claim 7, further comprising an opening in the closed circumferential sleeve and an opening in the closed longitudinal sleeve through which the wire extends.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The endoluminal graft of claim 7, wherein the closed circumferential sleeve and the closed longitudinal sleeve comprise a single piece of graft material.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The endoluminal graft of claim 7, wherein the circumferential sleeve and the longitudinal sleeve are integral with the tubular graft material.

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The endoluminal graft of claim 7, wherein the tubular graft material, the closed circumferential sleeve, and the closed longitudinal sleeve are formed of a single piece of graft material, and wherein the single piece of graft material is a textile.
