A method of bypassing a coronary artery being at least partially occluded. The method comprises: using a branching graft for establishing direct fluid communication between three or more vascular locations. Specifically direct fluid communication is established between an upstream vascular location, a downstream vascular location and a distal vascular location. The distal vascular location is preferably selected on a distal artery or a distal portion of an artery to ensure that arterial blood flow in the distal artery generates sufficient pressure gradient in the branching graft to maintain the direct fluid communication.
