A tubular implantable prosthesis is formed of porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.
The tubular prosthesis includes a substantially continuous ePTFE tubular first
body and perimetrically non-continuous second tubular body. A circumferentially
deformable support structure is interposed between the inner and outer tubular
bodies. The second tubular body is formed of a plurality of elongate PTFE strips.
The strips are secured to the first body and arranged longitudinally in a non-overlapping
relationship. The prosthesis provides for both axial and radial compliance.
