A technique for manufacturing a prosthetic tissue heart component involves performing a non-invasive scanning operation on a patient's heart, preferably by CT angiography. Images of the specific dimensions of the heart component to be replaced are generated. The images generated by the scanning operation are used to manufacture the replacement heart component. The invention permits a custom-fit replacement heart component to be installed in a patient. Use of the invention also avoids the need to manufacture or fit the replacement heart component during the course of a surgical procedure.
