Abstract
The present embodiments provide an endoluminal prosthesis having a stent-graft portion with a superior end and an inferior end and a graft portion. The graft portion is attached to the stent-graft portion at a junction, and the graft portion extends inferiorly from the junction in a pre-delivery configuration. In a first delivered configuration, the stent-graft portion is radially expanded, and in a second delivered configuration, the graft portion is everted and moved superiorly relative to the pre-delivery configuration. A valve may be attached to the graft portion when the graft portion is in the pre-delivery configuration. When delivered, the stent-graft portion is deployed first, and the graft portion and attached valve are then moved superiorly, with at least a portion of the graft portion extending superiorly beyond the superior end of the stent-graft portion.
