An intravascular cuff acts as a lining between a native vessel and an intravascular prosthetic device. During deployment the ends of the cuff curl , back upon themselves and are capable of trapping native tissue such as valve , leaflet tissue, between the ends. The cuff creates a seal between the vessel and the prosthetic, thereby preventing leakage around the prosthetic. The cuff also traps any embolic material dislodged from the vessel during expansion of the prosthetic.
