Abstract
A tandem modular endograft includes a main elongate tubular graft body having at least one circumferential inflatable channel disposed towards a proximal portion of the graft body wall and a plurality of circumferential inflatable channels disposed towards a distal portion of the graft body wall. A proximal expansion anchor is disposed at or secured to a proximal neck portion of the graft body wall. First and second elongate tubular stent-graft extensions may be percutaneously disposed into a distal end of the tubular graft body. In combination, proximal portions of the first and second stent-graft extensions are conformable to a shape of the open lumen of the main graft body.

A modular endovascular graft assembly comprising:
- a main elongate tubular graft body having a proximal open end and an opposed distal open end, defining a graft body wall having a proximal portion, a medial portion, a distal portion and an open lumen therein between;
- the graft body wall comprising a proximal neck portion disposed at the proximal end;
- the graft body wall comprising at least one circumferential inflatable channel disposed towards the proximal portion of the graft body wall near the proximal open end of the main tubular graft body and distally prior the proximal neck portion;
- the graft body wall comprising a plurality of circumferential inflatable channels disposed towards the distal portion of the graft body wall near the distal open end of the main tubular graft body;
- a proximal expansion anchor disposed at or secured to the proximal neck portion of the graft body wall;
- a first and second elongate tubular stent-graft extensions percutaneously disposed into the distal end of the tubular graft body, the first and second stent-graft extensions having respective proximal open ends and opposed distal open ends, defining graft body walls having a proximal portions, medial portions, distal portions and open lumens therein between;
- wherein, in combination, the proximal portions of the first and second stent-graft extensions are conformable to a shape of the open lumen of the main graft body.
