PCT No. PCT/AU96/00713 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 25, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 25, 1999 PCT Filed Nov. 10, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/17910 PCT Pub. Date May 22, 1997A method for positioning an intraluminal graft within a branching vessel in a patient's body is described. The method is particularly applicable to the appropriate positioning of a trouser graft so that it bridges an aneurism which extends from a single vessel, such as the aorta, into one or more divergent vessels, for example, an iliac artery. The method can comprise the steps a of placing a first graft (10), that bifurcates in a pair of tubular sections (19a, 19b) into the pre-branching portion of a vessel (11) through one of the post-branching portions of the vessel (12, 13), positioning a second tubular graft (10b) into one of the post-branching portions (12) and connecting it to one of the tubular sections of the first graft (19a), and positioning a third tubular graft (10a) into the other of the post-branching portions (11) and connecting it to the other of the tubular sections of the first graft (19b). |
