A graft for replacement of a section of an artery and methods of making
the graft. The graft comprises a flexible, resilient, generally tubular
external support and a blood vessel segment, e.g., a vein segment,
carried within and having an ablumenal surface in contact with and
supported by the tubular support, the graft being capable of resilient
radial expansion in a manner mimicking the radial compliance properties
of an artery.
