摘要

Provided is a plain-weave fabric having exceptional low air permeability and waterproof properties. Also provided is a stent graft in which the plain-weave fabric is used as a graft base material, the stent graft having exceptional low water permeability, mechanical characteristics, and catheter storage properties. The plain-weave fabric is manufactured by interlocking the yarn in the warp and woof. Yarns YA, YB arranged in the same direction have mutually different crimp ratios A, B, the relationship thereof satisfying the formula below, and the crimp ratio B being 4% or more. The plain-weave fabric is preferably used in a stent graft. A ≥ B × 1.2
