Abstract
An endoluminal prosthesis having a tubular graft comprising a first biocompatible material having a first weave density comprising yarns aligned in a first direction interwoven with yarns aligned in a second direction, and a second biocompatible material having a second weave density less than the first weave density comprising yarns aligned in a first direction interwoven with yarns aligned in a second direction, the second biocompatible material spirally positioned throughout the entire length of the tubular graft around a central axis with respect to the first biocompatible material. An elongate member is attached along the length of the tubular graft. The tubular graft includes first regions comprising the first biocompatible material and second regions containing the second biocompatible material. The elongate member is attached to the first regions of the tubular graft.
