COMPOSITE HEART VALVE APPARATUS MANUFACTURED USING TECHNIQUES INVOLVING LASER MACHINING OF TISSUE |
摘要 |
<p>Methodology for using laser machining techniques to modify a tissue for use in a medical device. In a representative mode of practice, relatively low energy laser machining is used to thin down at least a portion of a valved jugular vein. The thinned down vein may then be sutured to, or otherwise integrated with, a corresponding stent to make a percutaneous heart valve.</p> |
