ENDOLUMINAL PROSTHETIC CONDUIT SYSTEMS AND METHOD OF COUPLING

摘要

A modular prosthetic conduit system such as a stent or stent graft system tailored for the repair of aneurysms or other compromised vessel walls. The stent or stent graft sys-tem incorporates various means to interlock the multiple modular components used in the repair procedure. The present invention further provides a modular stent graft system tailored for the re-pair of aneurysms or other compromised vessel walls that cross or are adjacent to a branch or bifurcation in a vessel.
