Abstract

A stent-graft including an inner stent having a wall structure including juxtaposed strut-patterns with interconnected struts and connectors connecting the strut-patterns is described. The wall structure of the inner stent has a predetermined length. An outer stent is coaxially arranged around the inner stent and has a wall structure including juxtaposed strut-patterns with interconnected struts and connectors connecting the strut-patterns. The wall structure of the outer stent has a predetermined length and a flexible stretchable material layer arranged between the inner stent and the outer stent. The wall structure of the inner stent has a design differing from the design of the wall structure of the outer stent and the length of the inner stent is equal to the length of the outer stent.

Claims (15)

1. A stent-graft comprising:

an inner stent having a wall structure including juxtaposed strut-patterns with interconnected struts and connectors connecting the strut-patterns, the wall structure of the inner stent having a predetermined length;

an outer stent coaxially arranged around the inner stent and having a wall structure including juxtaposed strut-patterns with interconnected struts and connectors connecting the strut-patterns, the wall structure of the outer stent having a predetermined length, wherein the struts of the inner stent are shorter than the struts of the outer stent and wherein the connectors of the inner stent are longer than the connectors of the outer stent; and

a flexible stretchable material layer arranged between the inner stent and the outer stent, the wall structure of the inner stent having a design differing from the design of the wall structure of the outer stent, and the length of the inner stent being equal to the length of the outer stent.

2. The stent graft according to claim 1 , wherein the inner stent has at least one additional strut pattern as compared the strut pattern of the outer stent, wherein the one additional strut pattern is located along the predetermined length of the inner stent.

3. A stent-graft comprising:

an inner stent having a wall structure including juxtaposed strut-patterns with interconnected struts and connectors connecting the strut-patterns, the wall structure of the inner stent having a predetermined length;

an outer stent coaxially arranged around the inner stent and having a wall structure including juxtaposed strut-patterns with interconnected struts and connectors connecting the strut-patterns, the wall structure of the outer stent having a predetermined length, wherein the connectors of the inner stent have the same length as the connectors of the outer stent; and

a flexible stretchable material layer arranged between the inner stent and the outer stent, the wall structure of the inner stent having a design differing from the design of the wall structure of the outer stent, and the length of the inner stent being equal to the length of the outer stent

wherein the inner stent has at least one additional strut pattern as compared the strut pattern of the outer stent, wherein the one additional strut pattern is located along the predetermined length of the inner stent.

4. A stent-graft comprising:

an inner stent having a wall structure including juxtaposed strut-patterns with interconnected struts and connectors connecting the strut-patterns, the wall structure of the inner stent having a predetermined length;

an outer stent coaxially arranged around the inner stent and having a wall structure including juxtaposed strut-patterns with interconnected struts and connectors connecting the strut-patterns, the wall structure of the outer stent having a predetermined length, wherein the struts of the inner stent are shorter than the struts of the outer stent and the connectors of the inner stent have the same length as the connectors of the outer stent; and

a flexible stretchable material layer arranged between the inner stent and the outer stent, the wall structure of the inner stent having a design differing from the design of the wall structure of the outer stent, and the length of the inner stent being equal to the length of the outer stent,

wherein the inner stent has at least one additional strut pattern as compared the strut pattern of the outer stent, wherein the one additional strut pattern is located along the predetermined length of the inner stent.
