Patent ID: 8192481

Claim:
A vascular graft comprising: a luminal layer of ePTFE, the luminal layer is at least partially sintered; a biodegradable polymer layer comprising a bioactive agent and at least one biodegradable polymer, the at least one biodegradable polymer comprising a hydrophilic region, at least two functional groups that will allow for cross-linking of the polymer, and a bioresorbable hydrophobic region, the bioactive agent controllably releases from the biodegradable polymer layer to the site of implantation of the graft, the biodegradable polymer layer being posited on the external surface of the luminal layer; and a fabric layer posited on the external surface of said biodegradable polymer layer; wherein said at least partially sintered luminal layer and said heat-set fabric layer are bonded together via cross-linking of said biodegradable polymer layer.
