  • Implantable endoprosthesis with patterned terminated ends and methods for making same
    Patent number: 6217609
    Abstract: The invention relates to a braided implantable endoprosthesis such as a stent or stent-graft with selectively terminated elongated member ends to aid orientation and control. A saw-tooth or crown pattern is formed on an end or on an edge of an opening in the generally tubular body. The pattern is defined by a series of terminus on the elongated members at a predetermined distance from respective control points. The termini cooperate with the control points and provide layers when constrained. The invention also relates to methods of making a braided implantable endoprosthesis with patterned terminated ends.
