Abstract
An intraluminal graft includes a tubular graft body extending along a cylindrical axis, a plurality of wires spaced apart from each other and arranged to circumferentially reinforce said tubular graft body along a substantial portion of its length, and a body surface including an inner surface region and an outer surface region. The body surface defines a plurality of apertures extending from an exterior space, and a first portion of a first wire is in the interior space while a second portion of the first wire is in the exterior space.
Claims10
A prosthesis comprising:
- (i) a bifurcated base structure which defines a common flow lumen and a pair of connector legs which define divergent flow lumens from the common flow lumen;
- and
- (ii) a graft which is adapted to be anchored within one of the flow lumens of said bifurcated base structure to form a continuous extension of that lumen.
A prosthesis comprising:
- a first graft comprising a proximal portion, a first distal portion, and a second distal portion;
- said proximal portion defining a lumen and adapted to be disposed within a blood vessel in juxtaposition with a bifurcation;
- said first distal portion defining a lumen and adapted to allow blood to flow from said proximal portion into a first branched blood vessel;
- said second distal portion defining a lumen and adapted to allow blood to flow from said proximal portion into a second branched vessel;
- and
- a second graft defining a lumen and adapted to be intravascularly inserted into a lumen of said first graft to allow blood to flow through the lumen defined by said second graft;
- and
- wherein said first distal portion has a downstream end forming a skirt.
