  • Vapor deposition process for producing a stent-graft and a stent-graft produced therefrom
    Publication number: 20030093141
    Abstract: A stent-graft endoprosthesis is provided. The graft is a non-textile graft made from biocompatible polymers. The biocompatible compatible polymers include poly-para-xylylene polymeric material. The stent is also coated with a poly-para-xylylene polymeric material. The graft is formed by vacuum vapor deposition of diradicals forming the poly-para-xylylene material. The stent is also coated with the poly-para-xylylene material by vacuum vapor deposition.
