摘要:
The present disclosure provides a bifurcated stent for use in juxtaposition with an angiological bifurcation. The disclosure provides a bifurcated stent that includes a proximal portion adapted to be disposed within a blood vessel in juxtaposition with a bifurcation, a first distal stent portion adapted to extend across the bifurcation into one of the branched blood vessels, and a second distal stent portion adapted to allow blood to flow from the proximal portion into the other branch blood vessel. The disclosure also provides a bifurcated prosthesis including such a bifurcated stent and a tubular graft layer formed from a biocompatible fabric in juxtaposition with the stent. The disclosure also provides a stent joining means for joining two stents one to the other to define a continuous lumen through the two stents.
