Abstract:
1. For a bifurcated vasculature having a vascular trunk dividing into a first vascular branch and a second vascular branch at a vascular intersection, a system comprising: an elongated enclosure having a first end and a second end; a first trunk section including: an elongated member having a first end and a second end, the elongated member extending in juxtaposition with and spaced apart from the elongated enclosure; a first arch member coupled with the first end of the elongated enclosure and extending to and coupling with the first end of the elongated member, the first arch member having an apex; and a second arch member coupled with the second end of the elongated enclosure and extending to and coupling with the second end of the elongated member, the second arch member having an apex, the apex of the first arch member spaced apart from the apex of the second arch member; and a second trunk section including: an elongated member having a first end and a second end, the elongated member extending in juxtaposition with and spaced apart from the elongated enclosure; a first arch member coupled with the first end of the elongated enclosure and extending to and coupling with the first end of the elongated member, the first arch having an apex; and second arch member coupled with the second end of the elongated enclosure and extending to and coupling with the second end of the elongated member, the second arch member having an apex, the apex of the first arch member spaced apart from the apex of the second arch member, the elongated member of the first trunk section coupled with and extending in juxtaposition with the elongated member of the second trunk section, the apex of the first arch member of the first trunk section spaced apart from the apex of the first arch member of the second trunk section, and the apex of the second arch member of the first trunk section spaced apart from the apex of the second arch member of the second trunk section, the elongated enclosure, the first trunk section, and the second trunk section sized and coupled together to be inserted in the vascular trunk for at least a portion of the elongated enclosure to contact and extend along a portion of the vascular trunk, for at least a portion of the first elongated member of the first trunk section to contact and extend along a portion of the vascular trunk, for at least a portion of the first elongated member of the second trunk section to contact and extend along a portion of the vascular trunk, for at least a portion of the first arch member and the second arch member of the first trunk section to contact a portion of the vascular trunk and for at least a portion of the first arch member and the second arch member of the second trunk section to contact a portion of the vascular trunk;
