Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for coupling a prosthetic implant to a fenestrated body are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a branch stent graft is provided. The branch stent graft can include an engagement portion for engagement with an opening in a fenestrated body, such as a vessel wall or an aortic stent graft. The engagement portion of the branch stent graft can be coupled to the fenestrated body such that the branch stent graft can move, rotate or shift relative to the fenestrated body but such that axial movement of the branch stent graft is restricted and/or prevented.
