Abstract:
An intraluminal prosthesis comprising:a trouser graft having a trunk which is circular in cross-section and has an external surface and an internal surface, the trunk comprising a first trunk diameter at an upstream end conformable to the diameter of the vessel to which it will be attached and a second trunk diameter at a downstream end which is different from the first trunk diameter; two trunk legs diverging in a downstream direction from the trunk at a septum region, each leg having a trunk leg diameter; at least one expandable wireform joined to and extending around the external surface of the trunk adjacent to the septum region; and a tubular extension overlappingly connectable to a downstream end of one of the two trunk legs, the tubular extension having a tubular extension diameter conformable to the trunk leg diameter to provide a consistent interface therewith.
