Patent attributes
The vascular prosthesis includes a luminal graft component that defines at least one fenestration and a crimped adapter at the at least one fenestration. The crimped adapter includes a perimeter and an opening with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the fenestration, and includes a crimped portion of generally concentric folds about the opening. The opening can move relative to the perimeter region of the crimped adapter to accommodate positioning of a branch prosthesis extending through the crimped adaptor. The vascular prosthesis is implanted in a patient to thereby treat, for example, an arterial aneurysm that spans a region of an artery that includes at least one arterial branch.
