Claim:
1. A method of repairing and/or patching a blood vessel comprising seeding a single layer of small intestine submucosa (SIS) with muscle-derived progenitor cells (MSC) to form a MSC/SIS matrix; wherein the MSC/SIS matrix is formed by a method comprising: a) admixing a preparation comprising the MSC with the SIS to form a stem cell matrix dressing; b) incubating the stem cell matrix dressing in vitro for 5 seconds to about less than 3 hours, thereby forming the MSC/SIS matrix; and c) folding the MSC/SIS matrix into a vessel-like lumen around the blood vessel, thereby repairing and/or patching the blood vessel.
