  • Publication number: 20100152838
    Abstract: An implantable valvular prosthesis is adapted for replacement of an anatomic valve that controls passage of blood flowing from an atrium to a ventricle in a patient's heart. The implantable valvular prosthesis includes a tubular stent body, at least one valve flap member, and a graft member. The tubular stent body includes a tubular trailing region and a tubular leading region. The valve flap member is disposed to associate with the tubular stent body. The graft member covers an abluminal surface of the tubular stent body.

  • Publication number: 20100036397
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a prosthetic vascular connector which comprises a male fastener of ring-shaped body and a ring-shaped female fastener; where the outer side of the female fastener is a smooth surface while the inner side, facing the male fastener, is provided with a tapered wall that is gradually contracted inward and an indented catch trough next to the minimum diameter of the tapered wall; when in use, the male fastener and the female fastener each offers the terminal portion of a separate prosthetic blood vessel to pass through its inside, followed by a outward to backward fold around it, and then push the male fastener with the folded terminal portion of the prosthetic blood vessel into the tapered wall of the female fastener covered with the prosthetic blood vessel, where the male fastener is being pushed into a deformed shape to move across the minimum diameter of the tapered wall of the female fastener, and lodged in the catch trough with its original shape restored.
