Abstract

Some embodiments of an endoluminal prosthesis comprise a graft having a first end and a second end, a first stent positioned at a first end of the graft, the first stent comprising a plurality of proximal apices and a plurality of distal apices, a second stent positioned axially adjacent to the first stent comprising a plurality of proximal apices positioned at a first end of the second stent. In some embodiments, the first stent can be partially covered by the graft such that the proximal apices of the first stent are not covered by the graft. The distal apices of the first stent can be positioned approximately on a first or a second plane offset from the first plane. The second stent can be positioned relative to the first stent such that the plurality of proximal apices of the second stent are spaced apart from the plurality of distal apices of the first stent. Further, one or more of the proximal apices of the second stent can be positioned approximately on a third or a fourth plane. The distal apices of the first stent can be circumferentially offset from the proximal apices of the second stent.
