Abstract
A multi-component stent-graft system is provided, which includes a first stent-graft, which is configured to assume radially-expanded and radially-compressed states; and a second stent-graft, which is configured to assume radially-expanded and radially-compressed states. A delivery tool includes an outer tube, in which the first and the second stent-grafts are initially positioned at respective axial sites within the outer tube, in their radially-compressed states without being fixed to each other. Other embodiments are also described.
