An endoprosthesis for repairing and treating abdominal aortic aneurysms.
The endoprosthesis features an anchoring and sealing component and low
profile bifurcated legs. A biocompatible graft material is secured to at
least the bifurcated legs in order to provide two endoleg fluid flow
lumens or conduits. The bifurcated legs have staggered stent elements
that nest to contribute to the low profile nature of the device and
additional longitudinal struts between pair of the staggered stent
elements to increase the longitudinal stiffness of the bifurcated legs
while maintaining the patency of the lumen created thereby.
