Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a bifurcated stent comprising first and second stent frameworks. The stent frameworks may be cut from tubular stent frameworks using a laser. Each stent framework includes a leg portion and a body portion. The body portions are formed with segments and gaps and are concentrically aligned such that there is minimal overlap of the segments. Each leg portion may be crimped independently of its corresponding body portion, thus achieving a diameter less than that of its corresponding body portion. The leg portions may be capable of deflecting one from the other when the body portions are concentrically aligned.
