Patent ID: 7520895

Claim:
A self-expandable bifurcated endoluminal prosthesis, comprising: a proximal wire support section having a proximal end, a distal end and a central lumen extending therethrough; a first wire branch section at the distal end of the proximal support; and a second wire branch section at the distal end of the proximal support; wherein at least the proximal wire support section and the first wire branch section are formed from a single length of wire and the wire in the proximal wire support section comprises a series of proximal bends and a series of distal bends, creating a series of struts connecting the proximal bends and distal bends to form at least two axially adjacent tubular segments, joined by a connector therebetween and wherein the series of proximal bends, distal bends and struts form a series of triangles, each triangle being defined by one proximal bend and two distal bends or two proximal bends and one distal bend, further wherein at least one of the proximal bends is pivotably connected to at least one of the distal bends.
