Methodology for using laser machining techniques to modify a tissue for use in a medical device. In a representative mode of practice, relatively low energy laser machining is used to thin down at least a portion of a valved jugular vein. The thinned down vein may then be sutured to, or otherwise integrated with, a corresponding stent to make a percutaneous heart valve.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'utilisation de techniques d'usinage au laser pour la modification d'un tissu, destiné à être mis en oeuvre dans un dispositif médical. Dans un mode de réalisation, un usinage au laser de puissance relativement faible est utilisé pour amincir au moins une partie d'une veine jugulaire valvée. La veine amincie peut ensuite être suturée ou intégrée à un stent correspondant pour obtenir une valve cardiaque percutanée.
