1. An intraluminal device for use in accessing a vessel lumen with a medical implement, the intraluminal device comprising:
- a lattice of structural elements forming a tubular shape having a device wall defining a device lumen, the device wall having a fenestration side and an opposite side located opposite the fenestration side;
a fenestration disposed in the fenestration side of the device wall, the fenestration passing through the fenestration side of the device wall allowing access of the medical implement to the device lumen through the fenestration side of the device wall;
a reinforced perimeter on the fenestration side around the fenestration; and
a reinforced portion opposing the fenestration, the reinforced portion formed in the opposing side of the device wall.

Abstract
An implantable prosthesis with at least one fenestration in a side wall of that prosthesis is disclosed. The fenestration provides an access port through which a medical device (such as a needle or a cannula) can be directed to enable access to the lumen of the blood vessel which the prosthesis is supporting.
