Abstract
A cast bioremodelable graft () including a cast tubular construct () of a bioremodelable substance (). The bioremodelable substance is cast on or applied to a form and then vacuum pressed to dry or harden the substance. Expandable members () are disposed on, in, under or about the cast tubular construct to expand the graft when released from an endoluminal delivery system. A second layer () can be applied over the first layer () and the expandable stents to contain the stents there between without the need for any separate attachment. The graft is dehydrated and preferably vacuum pressed to harden the bioremodelable substance. The form is removed to form one or more lumens (-) in the graft, which is then loaded on an endoluminal delivery system.
