ABSTRACT:
A system and method for endoluminal grafting of a main anatomical conduit (e.g., the aorta) and various branch conduits (e.g., side branch vessels such as the carotid, innominate, subclavian, intercostal, superior mesenteric, celiac, or renal arteries-or furcations such as the iliac arteries) which emanate from the main anatomical conduit. The grafting system generally comprises i) a primary graft having at least one opening therein and ii) at least one branch graft which is passable through the opening of the primary graft and into the branch conduit(s) such that the proximal end of each branch graft is in substantially fluid-tight sealing contact with the primary graft. Also disclosed is a specific system and method for grafting a bifurcated anatomical conduit (e.g., the aorto-iliac bifurcation) though only a single access opening (puncture site or incision) and a new balloon-anchorable guidewire system which is useable in the performance of such grafting of bifurcated anatomical conduits and numerous other medical procedures.
