1. An implantable medical device, comprising:
- an expandable support frame having a plurality of struts interconnected by bends, at least one of the struts defining a first portion having a first width, a second portion having a second width, and a third portion having a third width, the second and third widths being greater than the first width and the first portion disposed between the second and third portions;
a graft member having an edge in contact with a surface of a strut of the expandable support frame; and
at least one attachment element disposed circumferentially around a strut and through a thickness of the graft member.
