Abstract

See full text

This invention relates to bioprosthetic heart valve stents that are fashioned of bioresorbable materials. Such stents may be configured as sheaths or frames contoured to the shape of a valvular graft. The stents are eventually resorbed by the patient, leaving a functional 'stentless' valve with improved hemodynamic characteristics compared to stented valve implants.
