A thinly woven textile prosthetic implant such as a vascular graft may be
implanted by catheter implantation. The implant includes an elongate
tubular body formed of a woven fabric having a fabric thickness no
greater than about 0.16 mm. The tubular body includes a series of
longitudinally spaced wave-like generally uniform crimps along the length
thereof. The crimps are disposed at a fine pitch along the length of the
tubular body. The amplitude of the crimps is relatively small thus
reducing the formation of thrombus and plaque on the inside of the
implant.
