Abstract
A device and method for treating fluid-carrying conduits of the human body (such as blood vessels) in an area of a bifurcation are disclosed. In particular, a stent delivery system is configured to carry a stent which tapers from a smaller diameter end to a larger diameter end. The stent is deployed in a vessel such that blood flows into the smaller diameter end of the stent and exits the larger diameter end. The stent is particularly suited for treating a widened portion of a blood vessel immediately proximal to a bifurcation.
