A stent graft assembly for use in placing a stent graft in a vessel of a patient comprising a balloon delivery catheter having a distal extremity and having an inflatable balloon on the distal extremity. A stent graft disposed over the inflatable balloon. The stent graft comprises a stent and a graft in the form of a polymeric sleeve extending over at least a portion of the graft. The graft has first and second ends. First and second expandable security rings are disposed over the first and second ends of the graft and serve to secure the first and second ends of the graft to the stent to prevent inadvertent displacement of the graft with respect to the stent during deployment of the stent graft into the vessel of the patient.

Stent graft assembly and method

A stent graft for implantation in a vessel in a human body comprising inner and outer concentric coaxial tubular sleeves formed of a flexible material compatible for use in the human body and each having first and second ends. A plurality of separate expandable metallic rings disposed axially within and between the inner and outer sleeves. Bands of a flexible material compatible with the flexible material utilized for the inner and outer sleeves disposed between the rings and within and between the inner and outer sleeves.

Stent graft and method

A composite expandable device for delivery into a vessel carrying blood comprising an expandable support frame having first and second end portions. An impervious polymer sleeve having inner and outer surfaces extending over the support frame. A coating is disposed on at least one of the inner and outer surfaces of the polymer sleeve for enhancing endothelial cell growth on the device and polymer sleeve.
