ENDOPROTHÈSES COUVERTES ET PROCÉDÉS D'AMÉLIORATION DE LA FLEXIBILITÉ D'ENDOPROTHÈSES COUVERTES PAR PLISSAGE THERMIQUE

摘要

A method for forming pleats in a stent graft, includes forming pleats in a graft material of the stent graft by compressing the stent graft, applying heat to the stent graft to thermally set the pleats in the graft material, and extending the stent graft to uncompress the stent graft after the pleats are thermally set.
