A medical device comprises a catheter having a catheter shaft and a
balloon located at the distal end of the catheter shaft, and a bifurcated
stent. The bifurcated stent comprises a trunk and at least two joined
cylindrical parts extending from the trunk. A first part is capable of
radially self-expanding and a second part is radially expandable only by
means of a force applied thereto. At least a portion of the second part
is disposed about the balloon prior to being radially expanded.
