Patent ID: 6942692

Claim:
A system for bypassing an aneurysm in an artery comprising: a first prosthesis having a proximal end, a distal end and a substantially tubular body; a gasket covering at least a portion of the proximal end and a portion of the substantially tubular body, said gasket including a plurality of apertures in a portion of the gasket covering the proximal end of the first prosthesis such that the apertures are in line with the substantially tubular body; at least one second prosthesis matingly engaged with the proximal end of the first prosthesis through one of the plurality of apertures, said second prosthesis being configured to provide a fluid flow path that extends through the aneurysm; and a pair of third prostheses matingly engaged with the proximal end of said first prosthesis through respective ones of the plurality of apertures, each one of said pair of third prostheses being configured to provide a fluid flow path that extends into a cross artery upstream of the aneurysm.
