The study focuses on prototype manufacturing of polymeric stents. The prototype is an integrated braided and tubular narrow woven fabric assembly. The braided structure manufactured with polyester monofilaments, acts as the reinforcing component and the tubular narrow woven fabric tightly covering it, acts as the sealing component. Prototypes of bifurcated braided stent for abdominal aortic aneurysm applications are also manufactured with braiding of polyester monofilaments. Three-way ANOVA results show statistically significant effects of braid angle, braid diameter, and heatset time on the compression force of the reinforcing component of polymeric stents. All components of the polymeric stents are manufactured with the available textile machinery.

Key Words: coronary artery disease • prototype • stent • monofilament • multifilament • braiding • tubular fabrics • narrow weaving • bifurcated structures
