A method for manufacturing a vascular polymeric assembly, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a heat source;
- wrapping the heat source with a sacrificial material;
- placing the heat source wrapped in the sacrificial material in a mold;
- filling the mold with a polymeric material wherein the polymeric material encloses at least a portion of the heat source and the sacrificial material;
- curing the polymeric material in the mold thereby creating an encased product;
- removing the encased product from the mold;
- and
- removing the sacrificial material disposed within the mold and defining a channel.
