An implantable textile prosthesis which is anatomically curved to substantially match the natural curvature of the aortic arch in a human being or patient is provided. The first woven section is arched define an apical region and to conform generally to an aortic arch of a human patient. A plurality of elongate woven tubular extents extend vertically from a top wall portion at the apical region of the tubular main wall. These tubular extents are sutured to the first woven section to provide fluid communication between the tubular main wall and the tubular extents.
