ABSTRACT:
A vascular prosthesis adapted to be endoluminally inserted into a vascular region, particularly a vascular region having an aneurysm, and a method for implanting the same. The prosthesis features a tubular framework and a sheath bound to the framework for canalizing the flow of blood, with an extension of the sheath extending beyond a free end of the prosthesis. The sheath extension provides an attachment point for a portion of a blood vessel and/or a vessel substitute to be attached chirurgically to the prosthesis. In a preferred embodiment, the prosthesis constitutes a vascular graft extension that is connected to one of the branching portions of an expandable tubular branching vascular graft.
