ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a bifurcated endoluminal prosthetic assembly. The assembly includes a trunk body including a body lumen and at least one access port. At least one branch body is positioned adjacent the access port. The branch body includes a branch lumen in communication with the body lumen. The assembly further includes a ring including at least one connector operably attached to the branch body. The ring is sized to operably engage the trunk body. The ring retains the branch body adjacent the access port. The invention further provides a method of retaining a branch body adjacent a bifurcated endoluminal prosthetic assembly. A ring operably attached to the branch body is compressed. The ring is positioned within the endoluminal prosthetic assembly. The compressed ring is expanded into operable engagement with the endoluminal prosthetic assembly.
