ABSTRACT:
This invention is an intraluminal stent or graft suited for the noninvasive treatment of aneurysms, diseased blood vessels, and other bodily lumen. The stent is made up of polymeric tubing which is helically and tightly wound to produce a column having an open lumen from one end to the other. At the stent's distal end, the tubing is sealed. At the stent's proximal end, the stent is adapted to allow the introduction of fluid suitable for inflating the stent at the chosen vascular site. The stent coils adhere to each other or to one or more sizing strips which may be straight or helical in configuration, or the stent may be constructed to use both methodologies.
