Abstract: Systems and methods for implanting a bifurcated stent comprising a main portion and a side portion within a blood vessel and an adjoining anastomosis are provided. The system includes a Y-shaped inner shaft having a first portion for supporting the main portion of the bifurcated stent and a second portion for supporting the side portion of the bifurcated stent, a first outer shaft for receiving the main portion of the bifurcated stent in a collapsed delivery state over the first portion of the inner shaft, and a second outer shaft for receiving the side portion of the bifurcated stent in a collapsed delivery state over the second portion of the inner shaft. The first and second outer shafts may be retracted relative to the bifurcated stent to deploy the bifurcated stent within the target blood vessel and adjoining anastomosis.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for extravascularly bypassing an occlusion within a patient's blood vessel. An upstream bypass stent may be implanted at an implant site upstream of the occlusion and a downstream bypass stent may be implanted at an implant site downstream of the occlusion, wherein an outlet of the upstream stent and an inlet of the downstream stent are coupled extravascularly to permit blood to extravascularly bypass the occlusion. The upstream stent further may include an additional outlet that directs blood to flow through the occluded blood vessel. A kit including a percutaneous tumescence tunneler for implanting the extravascular bypass system is also provided.
