The present invention embodies an endovascular graft having an attachment frame connection mechanism that allows placement of the main body component in vasculature in combination with limb components. Various limb component-to-main body component attachment mechanisms are provided which ensure a reliable bond while facilitating a smaller delivery profile.

Modular graft component junctions

A synthetic venous valve and graft combination that exerts no radial force at the valve site is disclosed. The trilobed valve ( ) is passively actuated by venous blood pressure changes. When open, the aperture for blood flow is approximately that of the original vein. The prosthesis is useful for replacing nonfunctioning venous valves in the human vasculature.

Physical vapor deposition of radiopaque markings onto a graft is described. A graft is placed into a chamber, and a radiopaque material is vaporized and then deposited onto the graft. The chamber is kept at a temperature below the damage threshold of the graft material. A template optionally placed on the graft may define the design of the deposited radiopaque markings. The deposited radiopaque markings of the present invention may have any design and may comprise any radiopaque material.
