Implantable prosthetic valve
First Claim
1. A prosthetic valve for implantation within a fluid conducting lumen within a body, comprising:
- an elongate radially-collapsible generally cylindrical body scaffold defining an elongate fluid passageway therethrough; and
a radially-collapsible leaf valve portion supported by said scaffold and being deflectable between a closed configuration restricting fluid flow through said passageway and an open configuration permitting fluid flow through said passageway, said leaf valve portion having an open-construction frame and a fluid impermeable lining sealing said frame.

Abstract
A prosthetic valve for implantation within a fluid conducting lumen within a body includes an elongate generally cylindrical radially collapsible valve body scaffold defining a fluid passageway therethrough for retentive positioning within the lumen. A radially collapsible leaf valve member is supported by the scaffold includes a number of valve leafs deflectable between a closed position restricting fluid flow through the passageway and an open position permitting fluid flow through the passageway. The leaf valve member includes an interior leaf valve frame defining a valve leaf aperture which is sealed by a fluid impermeable non-thrombogenic lining to prevent fluid flow therethrough.
