Patent abstract
A synthetic blood vessel graft (e.g., for use with a prosthetic heart valve) includes a mounting cuff adjacent at least one end for facilitating attachment of the graft to another structure (e.g., a sewing cuff of a heart valve). The mounting cuff may be sized and shaped to provide good conformance to the target structure to which it may be attached (e.g., the heart valve sewing cuff). The graft is preferably preclotted. Especially for use with a tissue valve (which must be supplied in a packaging solution that would react with a preclotting agent), the graft is preferably supplied separately from the valve.
