An endovascular stent graft assembly ( 10 ) for use with abdominal aorta aneurysms ( 70 ) and having a main stent graft body ( 12 ) and a separate attachment graft tube ( 14 ) that extends proximally therefrom having the proximal attachment stent ( 50 ) thereon for infrarenal attachment of the assembly ( 10 ) to the aorta ( 74 ). A distal end portion ( 44 ) of the attachment graft tube ( 14 ) underlies the proximal end portion ( 30 ) of the main stent graft body ( 12 ) and presses outwardly there against forming a friction fit, at an overlapping region ( 64 ). The main stent graft body ( 12 ) has an ipsilateral leg ( 22 ) and a contralateral stump ( 24 ) at the bifurcation ( 26 ). After deployment of the attachment graft tube ( 14 ), the contralateral leg ( 16 ) is deployed at the contralateral stump to complete the stent graft assembly ( 10 ).
