Abstract
An endoluminal prosthesis () for a curved vessel includes a tubular graft defining a lumen between a proximal end and a distal end, the tubular graft comprising a proximal section () and a second section distal () of the proximal section, where a proximal end of the second section is adjacent to a distal end of the proximal section. The proximal section includes a first biocompatible material having pliable textile strands aligned in a first direction interwoven with pliable textile strands aligned in a second direction. The second section includes a second biocompatible material having textile strands aligned in a first direction interwoven with textile strands aligned in a second direction, where the proximal section is more pliable than the second section.
