A stent assembly, comprising: a. a stent jacket, comprising an expansible mesh structure, having a retracted state and a deployed state, and further wherein in the deployed state, the expansible mesh structure defines apertures, and the expansible mesh structure is formed of fibers of a diameter between about 5 micrometers and about 25 micrometers, the diameter having a property of forming a substantially stable layer of endothelial cells, covering the fibers, thus reducing platelet aggregation; and b. an expansible stent, operatively associated with the stent jacket, the stent jacket being located on the exterior of the expansible stent.
