Self-expandable, woven intravascular devices for use as stents (both straight and tapered), filters (both temporary and permanent) and occluders for insertion and implantation into a variety of anatomical structures. The devices may be formed from shape memory metals such as nitinol. The devices may also be formed from biodegradable materials. Delivery systems for the devices include two hollow tubes that operate coaxially. A device is secured to the tubes prior to the implantation and delivery of the device by securing one end of the device to the outside of the inner tube and by securing the other end of the device to the outside of the outer tube. The stents may be partially or completely covered by graft materials, but may also be bare. The devices may be formed from a single wire. The devices may be formed by either hand or machine weaving. The devices may be created by bending shape memory wires around tabs projecting from a template, and weaving the ends of the wires to create the body of the device such that the wires cross each other to form a plurality of angles, at least one of the angles being obtuse. The value of the obtuse angle may be increased by axially compressing the body.Cette invention concerne des dispositifs intravasculaires tissés auto-extensibles utilisés en tant que tuteurs (à la fois droits et profilés), en tant que filtres (à la fois temporaires et permanents) et en tant quoccluseurs destinés à être insérés et implantés dans une variété de structures anatomiques. On peut fabriquer lesdits dispositifs à partir de métaux à mémoire de forme tels que le nitinol, ou à partir de matériaux biodégradables. Les systèmes de transport desdits dispositifs comprennent deux tubes creux à fonctionnement coaxial. On fixe le dispositif sur les tubes, avant son implantation et son transport, en fixant une extrémité du dispositif à lextérieur du tube interne et lautre extrémité du dispositif à lextérieur du tube externe. On peut recouvrir partiellement ou c
