Medical devices, such as endoprostheses, and methods of making the devices are disclosed. The medical device can include a composite cover formed of a deposited metallic film. The cover may include one or more filaments, e.g., wires, which cooperate with the film to provide desirable mechanical properties. The wires may be integrated with the film by depositing the film over the wires.

1. An endoprosthesis, comprising: a metallic film defining first and second opposed surfaces and a thickness of less than about 50 μm therebetween; and at least one filament, the at least one filament defining a length, at least two portions of the filament along its length being embedded within the metallic film between the first and second surfaces, the two portions being separated by a non-embedded portion of the filament. 2. The endoprosthesis of claim 1, wherein the metallic film comprises titanium and nickel. 3. The endoprosthesis of claim 1, wherein the metallic film has a substantially tubular shape defining a longitudinal axis and the at least one filament extends generally along the longitudinal axis. 4. The endoprosthesis of claim 3, wherein the tubular shape of the metallic film defines a length along the longitudinal axis and the length of the at least one filament is at least about 30% of the length of the tubular shape of the metallic film. 5. The endoprosthesis of claim 4, comprising a plurality of filaments each defining a length, at least a portion of each filament along its length being embedded within a metal alloy between the first and second surfaces of the metallic film, each filament extending generally along the longitudinal axis of the metallic film, the length of each filament being at least 30% of the length of the tubular shape of the metallic film. 6. The endoprosthesis of claim 4, wherein at least 75% of the filament along its length is embedded within a metal alloy between the first and second surfaces of the metallic film. 7. The endoprosthesis of claim 4, wherein the at least one filament comprises an alloy comprising nickel and titanium. 8. The endoprosthesis of claim 7, wherein the metallic film and the at least one filament each have a respective tensile strength, the tensile strength of the at least one filament being greater than the tensile strength of the metallic film. 9. An endoprosthesis, comprising: a metallic film defining first and second opposed metallic film edges, the first and second opposed metallic film edges each defining a channel; andat least one filament, the at least one filament extending through the channel of each opposed metallic film edge. 10. The endoprosthesis of claim 9, wherein the metallic film comprises nickel and titanium. 11. The endoprosthesis of claim 9, wherein the metallic film has a substantially tubular shape defining a longitudinal axis and the at least one filament extends generally parallel to the longitudinal axis. 12. The endoprosthesis of claim 11, wherein the tubular shape defines a length along the longitudinal axis and the length of the at least one filament is at least about 30% of the length of the tubular shape. 13. The endoprosthesis of claim 11, wherein the first and second opposed edges each define at least one offset tab, the channel of each opposed edge being formed by the offset tab. 14. The endoprosthesis of claim 13, wherein the first and second opposed edges each define a plurality of channels, each channel being formed by a respective offset tab, the at least one filament extending through at least some of the channels of each opposed edge. 15. The endoprosthesis of claim 11, wherein the endoprosthesis comprises a stent body, at least a portion of the at least one filament and at least a portion of the stent body being secured together. 16. The endoprosthesis of claim 11, wherein the at least one filament defines a longitudinal axis, an engagement between at least one of the channels and the at least one filament restricting movement of the at least one filament along its longitudinal axis with respect to the at least one of the channels. 17. The endoprosthesis of claim 11, wherein the first and second opposed edges are a first pair of opposed edges and the metallic film defines a plurality of pairs of first and second opposed edges, each edge of each pair defining at least one channel, a respective filament extending through the channel of each opposed edge of each pair. 18. The endoprosthesis of claim 17, wherein each pair of opposed edges extends generally along the longitudinal axis of the metallic film and the at least one filament has a length at least about 30% of the length of the tubular shape. 19. The endoprosthesis of claim 18, wherein the first and second edges of each pair of opposed edges have at least some relative freedom of movement with respect to a circumference of the metallic film. 20. A method of manufacturing an endoprosthesis, comprising: embedding at least two portions of a filament along a length of the filament within a metallic film, the two portions being separated by a non-embedded portion of the filament,wherein the metallic film defines first and second opposed surfaces and a thickness of less than about 50 μm there between, and the at least a portion of the filament is embedded within the metallic film between the first and second surfaces. 21. A method of manufacturing an endoprosthesis, comprising: forming a metallic film defining first and second opposed metallic film edges, the first and second opposed metallic film edges each defining a channel; andextending a filament through the channel of each opposed metallic film edge.
