ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for repairing a vessel at a bifurcation without obstructing blood flow through the bifurcation, wherein an expandable ostial stent comprises a tubular body and a deformable flaring portion. Repair of a bifurcated vessel is accomplished by positioning the expandable ostial stent within a diseased portion of the bifurcation so that the flaring portion caps the ostium and the tubular body is seated within a side branch to the bifurcation, thereby completely repairing the vessel at the bifurcation without occluding blood flow.
