Abstract
Systems and methods introduce and deploy a multi-lumen prosthesis into a blood vessel or hollow body organ. The prosthesis has a trunk divided by an internal septum, which defines, within at least a portion of the trunk interior, a multi-lumen flow channel configuration. A lumen extension component can be sized and configured to be fitted within at least one of the interior lumens to define an extended lumen.
