Patent ID: 8864813

Claim:
An intraluminal prosthesis for placement in a body lumen having an interior surface, the prosthesis comprising: a tubular graft comprising a hollow flexible body and a graft lumen, the hollow flexible body having a proximal end and a distal end, and an exterior surface and an interior surface along the graft lumen; at least one self-expanding stent coupled along the exterior surface of the hollow flexible body; and a balloon expandable tubular stent, discrete from the at least one self-expanding stent, coupled to the interior surface along the graft lumen at the proximal end of the hollow flexible body and axially adjacent the at least one self expanding stent, the balloon expandable tubular stent having a first diameter and a second expanded diameter; wherein the balloon expandable tubular stent is expandable to the second diameter by application of an outwardly extending force from an interior of the balloon expandable tubular stent, and the second diameter is at least equal to an interior diameter of the graft lumen of the tubular graft; where the at least one self expanding stent has a radial force just enough to expand and maintain the hollow flexible body in an expanded configuration so that patency of the graft lumen is maintained, and the balloon expandable tubular stent has a radial force sufficient to seal the proximal end of the tubular graft to the interior surface of said body lumen, and where the radial force of the self-expanding stent is independent of the radial force of the balloon expandable tubular stent and less than the radial force of the balloon expandable stent.
