Abstract
A patch prosthesis includes at least one cusp extending from a length of an associated valve wall. An elongated sheet of biocompatible material is attached to the valve wall, such that a portion of the elongated sheet extends beyond an inflow end of the cusp. A measurement system may be employed to measure the size of a patient's native cusp(s), which measurement may be utilized to select a patch prosthesis having an appropriately sized cusp.
