Abstract
A stent system is provided for percutaneous insertion in an artery of a main stent which includes at least one peripheral aperture defined through the stent wall. The stent system also includes a peripheral stent configured to be inserted into the peripheral aperture of the main stent. The peripheral stent extends, when inserted in the peripheral aperture, generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the main stent. The stent system may further include a guidewire, insertable through the peripheral aperture, for maneuvering the main stent into place in the artery. The guidewire may be tapered toward its distal end. The stent system may also include a dilation device for dilating the peripheral stent within the peripheral aperture. The stent system may further include a tube inserted through the peripheral aperture of the main stent.
