CARDIAC REPAIR PROSTHESIS SETS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A cardiac repair prosthesis set comprising:
- a radially expandable support supporting a unidirectional valve configured for implantation into the aortic valve region of a patient; and
a second radially expandable support for a substantially blood impervious stent having a size and shape for implantation into the ascending aorta of said patient;
the unidirectional valve and stent being configured for integration within the patient by at least one joining element.

Abstract
Cardiac repair prostheses, sets, and methods for implanting in an aorta are disclosed. Cardiac repair prosthesis sets can include a radially expandable support supporting a unidirectional valve that is configured for implantation into the aortic valve region of a patient and a second radially expandable support for a substantially blood impervious stent having a size and shape for implantation into the ascending aorta of said patient where the unidirectional valve and stent are configured for integration within the patient by at least one joining element. Cardiac repair prostheses can include a radially expandable support supporting a unidirectional valve configured for implantation into the aortic valve region of a patient and a second radially expandable support for a substantially blood impervious stent having a size and shape for implantation into the ascending aorta of said patient where the unidirectional valve and stent are joined by at least one joining element.
