Abstract
Described are vascular valve devices for implantation in a patient. The vascular valve devices are designed to compensate for the retraction characteristics of a remodelable material used to form one or more leaflets. Alternatively, or in addition, the devices are designed to reduce retraction of the remodelable leaflet-forming material. Further described are methods for preparing and using these vascular valve devices.
