Endovascular graft
First Claim
1. An endovascular device comprising:
- a polymeric tube having opposed first and second open ends;
an inflatable structure integral with or permanently secured to at least a portion of said polymeric tube; and
a non-inflatable expansion member disposed at one of said first and second opposed open ends;
wherein the inflatable structure is inflatable with an inflation fluid to provide an inflated state such that the inflated state conforms to the shape of a bodily lumen.

Abstract
An endovascular graft, which is configured to conform to the morphology of a vessel to be treated, includes a tubular ePTFE structure; an inflatable ePTFE structure disposed over at least a portion of the ePTFE tubular structure; and an injection port in fluid communication with the inflatable ePTFE structure for inflation of the inflatable ePTFE structure with an inflation medium. The inflatable ePTFE structure may be longitudinally disposed over the tubular ePTFE structure. The ePTFE structure may be a bifurcated structure having first and second bifurcated tubular structures, where the inflatable ePTFE structure is disposed over at least a portion of the first and second bifurcated tubular structures.
