#$%^&*AU2012202376A120121115.pdf#####ABSTRACT The present embodiments provide stents and stent-grafts for use in medical procedures. In one embodiment, a stent comprises a series of proximal apices, a series of distal apices, and at least one imaging element. A first suture bore is disposed in a surface of the stent at a location distal to the imaging element, and is adapted to receive a suture for coupling a portion of the stent to a graft material. A distal region of the stent, including the series of distal apices and the first suture bore, overlaps with the graft material, while a proximal region of the stent, including the series of proximal apices and at least one barb, is disposed proximally beyond the graft material. In an alternative embodiment, a stent-graft comprises a graft, a first stent and a second stent, in which a series of proximal apices of the first stent are each disposed distal to the proximal end of the graft, and a series of proximal apices of the second stent are each disposed proximally beyond the proximal end of the graft.2/11 22b 80 42 82 42 40 22b 22a 848 31 42 22b 40 41 42 22a 39 81 FIG. 2
