Abstract

A generally tubular prosthetic device (10) is provided which includes a first stent (12) having a central axis and a how passage defined therethrough, and being sized for insertion into a target lumen (50). A first proximal member (20) extends from a sidewall for the first stent (12), and is in fluid communication with the flow passage. A second distal stent (14) is provided having a central axis and a flow passage defined therethrough, and being sized for insertion into the target lumen (5). A second distal member (28) extends from a sidewall of the distal stent, and is in fluid communication with the flow passage of the distal stent. The prosthetic device (10) also includes a generally tubular central member (16) that interconnects and fluidly couples the first and second stent (12, 14) via the proximal and distal members (20, 28). A method of employing the device is also disclosed.
