Claim:
1. A vascular connector comprising: a primary stem fabricated from a substantially hollow structure and having a first end and a second end, the primary stem configured to externally connect to the primary stem to accept a blood flow from a narrowed vessel at the first end to bypass the narrowed vessel and output at least a first portion of the blood flow out the second end, the second end configured to externally connect to the narrowed vessel; and a secondary stem fabricated from a substantially hollow structure having a narrower diameter than the primary stem, the secondary stem extending from a wall of the primary stem to create a fluid path from the primary stem to the secondary stem and then extend linearly in a direction toward the first end of the primary stem, the secondary stem further having an outflow end configured to externally connect to a second vessel to thereby divert a second portion of the blood flow into the primary stem to the second vessel.
