Zusammenfassung:The purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-profile stent graft which has a Type-III endoleak suppression effect, avoiding the problem with a stent graft which uses an extra-thin graft incurring enlarged needle holes or needle hole parts in a suture part. A stent graft according to the present invention comprises a proximate end, a distal end, and a lumen which is positioned between the proximate end and the distal end. The stent graft is formed by coupling a cylindrical graft to a stent with a suture. The cylindrical graft is formed from a fabric having a thickness of 10-90 µm. The elastic modulus of the suture is 40 cN/dtex or less.
