Abstract

This invention is a bifurcated stent (5) for insertion into a bifurcated vessel such as a blood vessel. In one embodiment, a first sheet (25) is formed into a first leg (10), a second sheet (30) is formed into a second leg (15), a third sheet (35) is formed into a stem, and the two legs are attached to the stem. In a second embodiment, a first sheet if formed into a member having a first leg (55) and half of a stem (65), a second sheet is formed into a second member having a second leg (60) and half of a stem, and the two stem halves are combined to form the bifurcated stent. In a third embodiment, the stent comprises two sections that are serially inserted, and assembled within the vessel at the site of the bifurcation to be treated.
