Abstract
An artificial blood vessel comprises a woven, braided or knitted fabric structure. Fibers so extend from a surface of the fabric structure as to be randomly intertwined with the fabric structure. The intertwining of the fibers with the fabric structure can be achieved by applying a high fluid pressure against a surface of the fabric structure.
