ABSTRACT:
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.
