Claims20
A prosthetic valve for regulating fluid flow through a body vessel, the valve comprising a graft member moveable within said body vessel;
- means for maintaining an axial position of the graft member within said body vessel;
- and
- a bioactive agent associated with said prosthetic valve.
A prosthetic valve for regulating fluid flow through a body vessel, comprising:
- a support frame;
- at least one graft member attached to the support frame and moveable between a first position that permits said fluid flow through said body vessel in a first direction and a second position that substantially prevents said fluid flow through said body vessel in a second, opposite direction;
- and
- a bioactive agent associated with the at least one graft member.
A prosthetic valve for regulating fluid flow through a body vessel, comprising a moveable leaflet formed of a remodellable material and a bioactive agent associated with the moveable leaflet.
