A system and method for endoluminal grafting of a main anatomic conduit in
its diseased state in which it dilates to pose a life threatening
condition and its various conduits that emanate from the main anatomic
conduit. The grafting system comprises an endoaortic graft having at
least one opening therein and at least one branch graft that is passable
through the opening of the endoaortic graft into the branch anatomic
conduit(s) such that the junction between the branch graft and the
endoaortic graft is substantially fluid tight. A system and method for
delivery of the endoaortic graft and also a system and method for
efficient alignment and deployment of the branch (e.g., side branch)
graft such that the coupling of the branch graft with the endoaortic
graft is efficient and exact and fluid-tight; and a system and method for
coupling the branch to the endoaortic graft via a coupling mechanism
employing a memory metal alloy; a system and method for the proper and
exact alignment of the endoaortic graft and the branch using magnetic
force of a suitable nature, and which does not use the magnetic force as
the coupling mechanism.
