Abstract
A first balloon catheter having a tip extends through the stem portion and first leg portion of a first expandable tubular member and a second balloon catheter having a tip through said stem portion and extends out of a branch aperture such that its tip is longer than that of the first balloon catheter. The first, expandable tubular member, first balloon catheter and second balloon catheter are delivered to a bifurcated vessel having a first lumen and a second lumen with the tip of the second balloon catheter leading the rest of the elements so that the tip of said second balloon catheter can be aligned with and enter into the second lumen before the first expandable tubular member and the tip of said first balloon catheter reach the area of said second lumen and interfere with the second balloon catheter.
