Abstract:
A stent/graft assembly includes a tubular graft connected in substantially end-to-end relationship with a generally tubular stent.

Claim (Index 1):
An endovascular stent graft assembly for repairing a section of a blood vessel that has an aneurysm, the blood vessel having first and second relatively healthy sections adjacent and on opposite ends of the aneurysm, the assembly comprising:\n a tubular stent configured to contact a first relatively healthy section of the blood vessel, the stent having opposite first and second axial ends; a graft having a first axial end and a tubular portion adjacent the first axial end configured to contact the first relatively healthy section of the blood vessel; and the graft being connected to the second axial end of the stent by a plurality of axially projecting extensions mounted at circumferentially spaced apart locations on at least one of the stent or the graft, each of the plurality of axially projecting extensions comprising a radially extending surface remote from its respective mounting location and configured to achieve a substantially fixed connection between the stent and the graft without overlap between the stent and the graft; wherein the substantially fixed connection without overlap enables a smaller cross-section than a connection with overlap so that the assembly can be introduced more easily into the blood vessel.
