An endoprosthesis for deployment within a body passage includes an external tubular framework disposed about a tubular member, e.g., a metallic film having a thickness of about 50 μm or less. The tubular member may be sandwiched between the external tubular framework and an internal tubular framework located internally of the external tubular framework and the tubular member. Whether or not the internal tubular framework is included, the endoprosthesis can be self-expanding. During deployment of the endoprosthesis using a deployment device, the external tubular framework prevents substantial frictional contact between the deployment device and the tubular member.
