Abstract

A radially self-expanding implantable intraluminal device (10) formed from a hollow tubular braid. The infra-luminal device may be used in a variety of medical procedures which require a passageway to be maintained in an open position or which require reinforcement, support or a bypass conduit such as in blood vessels weakened by disease. The infra-luminal device is longitudinally expanded or radially collapsed for ease of insertion into a lumen and upon alignment within the lumen, the intra-luminal device (10) radially self-expands to come into intimate contact with the inner surface of the lumen.
