Abstract
The disclosure relates to an intraluminal medical device. The medical device comprises a main graft, a first extension graft, and a second extension graft. The main graft comprises a proximal end, a distal end, and a body extending between the proximal end and distal end. The distal end of the main graft comprises a first branch and a second branch, the branches extending distally from the body. The first and second extension grafts comprise at least one stent and have a body reinforcing portion and a branch reinforcing portion. The body reinforcing portions have a larger expanded dimension than the expanded dimension of the respective branch reinforcing portion. The body reinforcing portions, together, have an expanded dimension that is generally equal to the expanded dimension of the outer graft body.
