Patent ID: 7892278

Claim:
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 branch member coupled to and extending away from the first end of the elongated enclosure; 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 trunk section including: 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, 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, and a second trunk section including: 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; 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 elongated enclosure, the branch member, the elongated member, the first trunk section, and the second trunk section sized and coupled together to be inserted in the vascular trunk, the branch member sized to be inserted into the bifurcated vasculature for at least a portion of the branch member to contact a portion of the first vascular branch while the elongated enclosure, the elongated member, the first trunk section and the second trunk section are positioned in the vascular trunk; wherein the elongated enclosure defines a continuous lateral dimension greater than a combined lateral dimension of the branch member, the first trunk member, and the second trunk member, and wherein the continuous lateral dimension is configured to engage a patient's vessel.
