  • Diameter reducing tie arrangement for endoluminal prosthesis
    Patent number: 8728148
    Abstract: An endoluminal prosthesis may include a tubular body of a biocompatible graft material having proximal and distal ends and anterior and posterior sides. The prosthesis may include at least a first and a second fenestration. The first and second fenestrations may be spaced from one another circumferentially around the tubular body. The prosthesis may include at least one first diameter reducing tie positioned circumferentially on the posterior side of the prosthesis and engaging at least a circumferential segment of the posterior side to restrain the engaged segment from expansion. The prosthesis may include at least one second diameter reducing tie positioned circumferentially between the first and second fenestrations on the anterior side of the prosthesis and engaging at least a circumferential segment of the anterior side to restrain the engaged segment from expansion.
