Decellularized vascular prostheses that are resistant to thrombus occlusion and have a low level of immunogenicity and methods of making same are disclosed. The prostheses have high mechanical strength, resist aneurysm, rupture, and allow for secure surgical sutures while maintaining structural integrity. The vascular prostheses provided are blood vessels, valves or portions of vessels containing valves. There is also a method useful for coating synthetic vascular stents.
