  • METHOD OF FABRICATING AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE BY DEFORMATION OF A TUBE OR A SHEET
    Publication number: 20090012598
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an implantable medical device, such as a stent, from a plastically deformed tube or sheet is described herein. The implantable medical device may be an endoprosthesis such as a stent. The method may include elongating a tube longitudinally along a cylindrical axis of the tube. The method may further include forming a pattern that includes at least one strut on the elongated tube. A further embodiment may include stretching a sheet along an axis of stretching. The method may include forming a tube from the stretched sheet. The method may further include forming a pattern including at least one strut on the stretched sheet or the tube.
