A stent particularly useful in reinforcing bifurcated arteries includes a first primary stent arranged inside a major artery, such the aorta at the level of the bifurcation and at least two secondary cylindrical stents. Each secondary stent is placed inside of a branching artery and inside the lumen of the first primary stent. The secondary stents engage interior portions of the primary stent and are anchored thereto by expansion.
