Prosthetic medical devices with delayed valve function and in situ
remodeling of a portion thereof are provided, as well as methods of
manufacturing the medical devices and methods of treatment using the
medical devices. The medical devices may be adapted to initially maintain
a remodelable material within a body vessel in a first configuration
suitable to contact the remodelable material with a body fluid contacting
the remodelable material for a first time period or a second
configuration adapted to regulate the flow of body fluid contacting the
remodelable material. The medical devices may include a releasable
holding member configured to retain the remodelable material in the first
