Abstract:
1. A prosthesis comprising: a bifurcated base structure which defines a common flow lumen at a proximal end and at least two connector legs which define divergent flow lumens from the common flow lumen at a distal end and which define at least one female engaging portion at at least one of the distal ends of said at least two connector legs; and a graft having a proximal end and a distal end which has a male engaging portion at said proximal end and which is adapted to be anchored within at least one of the female engaging portions of said at least two connector legs at the distal end of said bifurcated base structure, wherein engaging said male and female engaging portions provides a means for locking said graft and said bifurcated base structure together upon said graft being anchored in situ within said at least one female engaging portion to form a continuous extension of at least one of said divergent flow lumens of said bifurcated base structure.
