<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a module type intraluminal stent graft. <P>SOLUTION: This intraluminal stent graft is branched and has a primary part and a secondary part extending from the graft. The downstream side end of the primary part has a pair of independent opening portions having expanded diameters respectively. On the other hand, the secondary part has a first inner foot portion having an upstream side end to be accepted through the expanded diameter of one opening portion of the primary part, and a second inner foot portion having the upstream side end to be accepted through the second opening portion of the primary part. In the general application, the primary part is disposed in the abdominal aorta from the lower part of the kidney, and the inner foot portions are positioned in ipsilateral and contralateral iliac arteries. A relatively small amount of delivery profile is attained by minimizing the number of stent segments in the primary part of the stent graft. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
