A thoraco-abdominal branch graft prosthesis includes a lumen main graft component that defines a lumen and at least one main graft wall fenestration. An open distal end of the main graft component is tapered and has a smaller diameter than the proximal end of the main graft component. At least one tunnel graft component of the branch graft prosthesis defines at least one tunnel graft fenestration. The tunnel graft component is within the main graft lumen defined by the luminal main graft component. A luminal wall of the tunnel graft component is fixed to the luminal wall of the main graft component. The fenestration of the tunnel graft wall is aligned with the fenestration of the main graft wall. The thoraco-abdominal branch graft prosthesis can be implanted in a patient at a site of a thoraco-abdominal aneurysm.
A thoraco-abdominal branch graft prosthesis, comprising:
The thoraco-abdominal branch graft prosthesis of claim 6, wherein the third tunnel graft component is at a portion of the main graft component wall that is between the other two tunnel grafts, and wherein an open proximal end of the third tunnel graft is proximal to the open proximal end of the other tunnel graft components.
The thoraco-abdominal branch graft prosthesis of claim 7, wherein third tunnel graft component defines two wall apertures that are aligned along a major longitudinal axis of the third tunnel graft component, and wherein the main graft wall defines wall apertures that are aligned with apertures of the wall of the third tunnel graft.
