Claim:
A stent-graft adapted for implantation in an aorta for aorto-uni-iliac treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, the stent-graft comprising: a single lumen stent having a single first, upstream end, a single second, downstream end, and a length to extend from a first anchoring point in the aorta upstream of the aneurysm to a second anchoring point in an iliac artery, the first end of the stent having a first diameter sized to peripherally engage the aorta, and the second end of the stent having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter and sized to peripherally engage the iliac artery, wherein the stent gradually tapers from the first end to the second end; and a graft having a supported portion lining or covering at least a portion of the stent and an unsupported portion extending downstream beyond the second end of the stent, wherein the unsupported portion has a means for allowing cutting of its length within a patient's body and enables an overall length of the stent-graft to be adjusted to fit a particular aorto-uni-iliac treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
