  • Endoluminal device with extracellular matrix material and methods
    Patent number: 7887576
    Abstract: An endoluminal device comprises a stent and a tubular graft supported by the stent. The graft has a proximal and a distal opening and comprises a synthetic material and a bioremodelable material. The bioremodelable material is disposed on an exterior surface in at least one band adjacent at least one of the proximal and distal openings.

  • Method of promoting cell proliferation and ingrowth by injury to the native tissue
    Patent number: 7815687
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating tissue of the human body, specially, methods of promoting cell proliferation and ingrowth around implantable medical devices. The methods include inserting an apparatus comprising asperities adapted to injure native tissue at a desired anchoring location, injuring the native tissue at the desired anchoring location with the apparatus to initiate an injury response in the native tissue to thereby promote cell proliferation and ingrowth; and implanting the medical device at the treatment location.
