1. A tubular medical device having an inner luminal surface and outer abluminal surface, comprising:
- a) a structural support member having first and second wall surfaces thereof, the structural support member having at least one open space passing through the first and second wall surfaces, and being comprised of at least one of a metallic and pseudometallic laminate material; and
b) at least one tubular cover member consisting of a coherent laminate film of at least one of a metallic and pseudometallic material, the at least one tubular cover member being positioned adjacent against at least a portion of both the luminal and abluminal surfaces of the medical device and covering the at least one open space of the structural support member.

17. A covered stent device, comprising:
-
a) a diametrically expandable stent having a luminal and an abluminal wall surface and a wall thickness therebetween, and at least one open space passing through the luminal and abluminal wall surfaces; and b) at least one tubular cover member consisting of a thin metallic laminate film having a plurality of openings passing therethrough, and positioned concentrically adjacent to and covering an entire circumferential aspect of the diametrically expandable stent and covering the at least one open space of the diametrically expandable stent and the at least one tubular cover member being radially-expandable, wherein each of the plurality of openings are smaller than the at least one open space of the diametrically expandable stent. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A medical device, comprising:
-
a) A body member consisting of a metallic or pseudometallic laminate film having a first and a second wall surface and thereof; b) at least two structural support members, the first structural support member being positioned concentrically adjacent the first wall surface of the body member and the second structural support member being positioned concentrically adjacent the second wall surface of the body member, wherein the body member is bound between the first and second structural members is bound between the first and second structural members; and c) wherein the structural support members each comprise a stent having a first wall surface, a second wall surface, and at least one open space passing through the first and second wall surfaces, the at least one open space subtended by a wall surface of the body member. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
