titleOfInvention | Covered endoluminal stent and method of assembly |
abstract | A radially expandable endoluminal stent-graft assembly (10) and a method and apparatus for making the same are described. The stent-graft assembly (10) includes a tubular radially expandable stent (12) circumferentially covered by a tubular graft (14) which is retained about the stent (12) by inherent radial recoil forces of the tubular graft (12) and without the need for adhesives or sutures to retain the graft (14) on the stent (12). The assembly apparatus (44) for making the expandable stent-graft assembly (10) consists generally of a tapered dilation mandrel (46), a stent retaining mandrel (52), a handle (53), and couplings (60, 71) for removably and coaxially coupling the components of the assembly apparatus mandrel (44). The method for making the expandable stent-graft assembly (10) utilizes the assembly apparatus (44) to make the stent-graft assembly (10) by dilating the graft (14) on the tapered dilation mandrel (46), sliding the dilated graft (14) over a stent (12) retained on the stent retaining mandrel (52), permitting the dilated graft (14) to radially recoil over the stent (12), circumferentially cutting unsupported areas of the graft (14) at proximal and distal ends of the stent (12) and removing the stent-graft assembly (10) from the assembly apparatus (44). |
