Disclosed are medical devices, and more particularly, endovascular grafts, and methods for treating branched vessels in diverse patient populations including those with shorter than average common iliac arteries. A bifurcated stent graft (2) as described herein comprises adjacent facing fenestrations (40, 48) formed in the graft legs in order to permit proper placement of an "up-and-over sheath" and a side branch (20) which may be proximally located in order to properly align the side branch (20) with the opening of the branch vessel such as the internal iliac artery while keeping the graft bifurcation (18) seated near the aortic bifurcation (32).
