Abstract
A stent is made of a fabric interlaced in a knitting machine. The knitting machine receives a plurality of fabric strands and at least one wire strand from spools and knits them into a tubular fabric stent having at least one reinforcing wire interwoven in the fabric. If desired, the spool carrying the wire may rotate more slowly than the yarn spools so that the wire is braided about the yarn locking the yarn together. The wire may be made of materials such as Stainless Steel, Tungsten, Titanium, NITINOL a nickel-titanium alloy, Gold or Silver.
