Claim Text:
1. A modular stent graft which is designed for introduction into a blood vessel of a patient in need thereof and which has stents connected by means of a graft material, wherein the stent graft has a first stent graft module with a body, a proximal end, and a distal end, and with at least two tubular arms which extend longitudinally in the distal direction from the distal end of the first stent graft module and which are integrally connected to the body of the first stent graft module, wherein the first stent graft module has one arm longer than and with a larger diameter than the at least second other arm, a second stent graft module with a second body, a proximal end, and a distal end, and with at least three tubular arms which extend longitudinally in the proximal direction from the proximal end of the second stent graft module and which are integrally formed with the body of the second stent graft module, wherein the second stent graft module has one arm longer than and with a larger cross section than the at least two other arms, wherein arms of the first stent graft module and of the second stent graft module in each case have diameters such that the first and second stent graft modules are connectable to each other by interlocking one into the other and by partially overlapping the respective one arm of the distal end of the first stent graft module with the arm of the proximal end of the second stent graft module in order to form an assembled modular stent graft within the same blood vessel, wherein the first stent graft module and the second stent graft module are connectable to each other by means of the respective longer arms of the stent graft modules being interlocked into each other.
