Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Medical devices for implantation in a body vessel, and methods of using and making the same, are provided. A medical device includes a frame and a cross-linkable material having at least one cross-linked region and a non cross-linked region, where the cross-linked region maintains the cross-linkable material in connection to the frame. A method of making an implantable medical device includes providing a frame and covering the frame with a cross-linkable material. The method also includes cross-linking at least one region of the cross-linkable material by joining a first region of the cross-linkable material to a second region of the cross-linkable material to form a point of attachment. A method of treating a subject includes the step of implanting the medical device at a point of treatment.
