Abstract
A bypass system for bypassing a restriction in a parent vessel of a mammal to provide blood flow past the restriction. The bypass system couples a restricted artery to a venous vessel distal of a restriction to provide blood flow through the artery distal of the restriction. Blood flow is provided to a distal portion of the artery through an adjacent venous vessel so that blood can be provided to distal portions of the restricted artery.
