The present invention provides a stent-graft assembly. The assembly
comprises at least one stent framework and a graft member. The graft
member is positioned adjacent an inner surface of the stent framework and
everted over an outer surface of the stent framework to enclose at least
a portion of the stent framework. The assembly may further comprise a
therapeutic agent that is enclosed by the graft member. Elution openings
may be formed in the graft member to preferentially elute a therapeutic
agent into the wall rather than the lumen of a vessel into which the
stent-graft assembly is placed.
