A porous polytetrafluoroethylene substrate is used in an endoprosthesis device. An elongate radially expandable tubular stent is also included with the porous PTFE substrate, and form the endoprosthetic device. A method of making the porous polytetrafluoroethylene entails a novel method including siloxane in PTFE and thereafter removing the siloxane to form the porous structure. The PTFE structure does not have nodes and fibrils.
